Market socialism

Alright, what about the rest of what I said?

And how do you change the surrounding society? By changing all of the enterprises. Our society (the superstructure) is shaped fundamentally by the relationship between OWNERSHIP and labor. Transform that relationship and you transform society by default, and in ways that are thorough, and thoroughly unpredictable.

I answered all of what you said. Markets are not democratic. They do not empower people, quite the opposite. Planning can be done democratically. I don't give a rat's ass about what some petty bourg thinks, I care about what empowers the worker.

This.

But you have not changed the relationship, just the owner. The worker is still selling his labour.

In co-op types of organizations the workers and consumer members make the decisions. Not some council, some algorithm, or "some petty bourg".

Democratically.

Only within the firm, which does not mean much. Any firm is ultimately limited in the decisions it can make, since it must make actions that are profitable. This does not change whether the decisionmaker is an owner, a board of directors, or the workers. The workers will ultimately be forced to exploit themselves in order to compete.

Just wondering cause of your Yugo flag, is this how Tito ran things? I know very little about Titoism outside of his dealings with Stalin.

What does "selling your labour democratically" even mean? It's a pointless buzzword, and it doesn't address the fact the fundamental relations of production that define capitalism (labour as a commodity) still exist. Try reading Marx trying to argue about him.
