>Theresa May isn't a dictator and can't just decide what she wants to without being in agreement with the rest of her politicians.

This is true, to the extent where I wish people would stop individualizing problems that are obviously endemic to the entire system. The damage caused by individual conspiracies isolated in history is negligible to the scale of systemic issues in modern political economy. Applying some abstract thinking would help us understand that May isn't a dictator, but capital is.



What do you think of going for worker-owned-and-directed-cooperatives replacing traditional corporations as a first step in combating capitalism?

I think the idea is, to distribute power to the people. These cooperatives would generally make decisions that benefit the majority. Unlike what we have today where mega corporations (dictated by a handful few) keep doing whatever they can for 'growth' even if that means destroying people's lives and our planet.
