    Argentina has somewhat of a history of workers seizing their factories. I think it would be extremely hard in the U.S. due to the well-funded police. Generally, I guess the movement would be “anarcho-syndicalism.”

    Edit: misremembered worker factory takeovers in the past as occurring in Venezuela instead of Argentina.

      Thanks. I didn’t know about Venezuela’s history at all. But I meant not more on a policy level to mandate that all companies must be owned equally by employees instead of shareholders

      Got some sources on that? I was born and raised there and all I can find is the government seizing factories, not the workers

      Edit: some sources of my own
