Communism, boiled down.

Marxism has only ever really been a idea verging on theory. Is there any community that has really ever put it into practice?

I know of companies that have increased profits through giving staff shares in the company and allowing staff more self determination.

It doesn't always work though.

Nor does democracy.

I guess one day maybe we'll figure out the right way to do things.

Until then, we'll work on the ideas we currently have.

It does work, to a certain point. The problem is, a business is, legally and accounting-wise, an entity unto itself. It stops working in the best way when those parts tip the seesaw away from the folks that are part of it.
