    Why would workers own the means of production if they didn’t set up the business in the first place? It’s just a hired labour. If you hire someone to do something this doesn’t mean they should suddenly have a part of that thing.

    You can set up your own thing together with the workers and pool and borrow to fund it and then you own the means of production. It’s already possible https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative

    Just go and do it or join the existing one. There’s like plenty of them here. And if there isn’t at your location it’s still better to act than complain.
