What is stopping people here from organizing based on what industry the work in, and starting companies paying themselves the same as top employees, at whatever you decide is really fair, and using the rest of the revenue to expand, invest, and provide benefits/perks, with set plans for climbing wage increases for new hires, or those with less experience (considerably higher than other companies).
With a lot of money being used to expand, and the best wages around, you'd start to impact how other companies pay, because instead of consuming an industry you're consuming the work force and in turn getting more work done, the cost of your services stays the same as the rest so I believe you wouldn't be stepping on any toes or breaking laws would you?
What is really stopping people from doing this?
Why instead of hating capitalism, are you not using it to set a standard of how it should work?
It would take time, and trust, but it's the best chance at making change.
You don't need to seize the means of production of whatever, you need to capitalize on seizing the work force.
Feel free to add, or explain why this is not viable.
Its more of a question of why this type of thing isn't being done than anything, I could even be describing a concept that already exists, roast & educate me in that case, I like to learn.
