Ignore that last part, just me writing ahead too much. I was trying to say this kind of corruption is incredibly hard to prove, so courts are not helpful.
Well, I live in a formerly socialist country so we remember what incredibly corrupt looked like. Most modern CEOs look outright virtuous in comparison.
Really? Your ‘formerly socialist country’ had all factories controlled by the workers and executives chosen through democratic election? And they were less corrupt than Elon Musk?
On paper yes. We all know what the reality was. Which would repeat immediately unless you can align the decision makers interests with interests of the people.
So what is the proper implementation? How do you make this “worker owned” be more than on paper platitude?
Capitalism does this by paying obscene amounts of money to the decision makers for making “good” decisions. It sucks. It sucks a lot less than anything else ever implemented.
Lower the burden of proof in court? What?

Okay, well CEOs and other executives are incredibly corrupt now, so I’m not sure why this is a complaint.

We aren’t talking about “on paper,” are we? We’re talking about proper implementation.

Laws.
Enforce the laws.
How do you know this? Do you know everything else ever implemented in all of human history?
Or do you mean it sucks a lot less than what was implemented, badly, in the 20th century?
Because I think you mean the latter.
