Run by workers
There is nothing preventing you or others in our free country and capitalistic system that prevents this "run by workers" type of organization from doing this in the marketplace. In fact, partnerships are quite common.
However, they don't always compete as well as a decisive structured organization. Decision-making and risk/reward can get murky and hard to reconcile. Some fail because of the competing self-interests of human nature in a company "run by workers". I am back to the evolution analogy of businesses surviving.
What I sense from you is a government-regulated economy that would restrict freedom of organization. That puts power in the hands of a few. Mix that with the variety of human nature and the ability of ambitious selfish tyrants to rise with whatever means it takes, and you have a society that leads to communist-type governments that restrict freedom. Sorry, but I think "run by workers" as a government-imposed economic model is idealistic and unworkable (can't compete and leads to degradation).
Evolution is a proven model. Let the people figure out how to compete with each other and reach acceptable (notice I didn't say the murky word "fair") conditions. It is a journey. It's freedom.
It astounds me that Evolutionists, of all people, don't see the value of that principle in economic and government issues.
