Re: Workers controlled production?
Workers controlled production as in a collectivisation or a cooperative? Collectivisations seem to be more related to Socialist economic systems, especially Anarchism.
I know of many Cooperatives that work in Spain, especially in the Banking area, they are not exactly controlled by the workers, as they are controlled by an administration board, but the property is of all the workers. They are small but competitive in rural areas.
As for Collectivisations, these seem to be more utopic than anything else, at least after the Spanish experience in the 1930s. Being runned by workers assemblies might give many problems and lead to chaotic situations.
The Israeli kibutz might be a good example of efficiently runned rural collectivisations, but the truth is that most of them (if not all) have already been privatized.
I personally believe in private property for small and medium business.
