       In a market economy, Commons Capitalism could outcompete traditional capitalism in any industry.Using Commons Capitalism Entities (CCEs), tens of millions of workers could receive premium wages and Nordic-style benefits such as healthcare, unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, disability support, childcare subsidies, parental leave, child benefits, (cont.)2/6

       maternity grants, education, stipends, pensions, and long-term disability benefits. Each CCE would acquire new businesses and bring new workers under its payroll and social benefit umbrella.Alternatively, each CCE could spin off a new CCE that would, in turn, pay new workers under its umbrella premium wages and Nordic-style social benefits. Commons Capitalism would equitably distribute wealth, via worker's wages, (cont.)3/6

       throughout communities, increasing the standard of living for all and raising the poor out of poverty.The benefits of Commons Capitalism are, as follows:The primary benefit is to distribute profits to workers in the form of premium wages and Nordic-style benefits and spinoff replicate entities. The secondary benefit is to equitably distribute wealth, via worker's wages, throughout the community. (cont.)4/6

       The tertiary benefit is to reduce the accumulation of the means of production in fewer and fewer individuals.Commons Capitalism could begin tomorrow. It avoids the necessity of revolution and guarantees what will replace traditional capitalism. It's a system that once it gets established in the market system, will continue to multiply and provide better pay and benefits to more and more workers.5/6

       @amerika It doesn't fit the definition of socialism because the means of production are neither publicly owned nor used for the general public. Distribution is made to workers only, not to the public generally.

       @Cirdan You are seizing money from production, so yes it is taking the means of production.Redistribution to workers was how it worked under the Soviet state as well, and soon everyone had some kind of job.The same will happen here.

       @Cirdan Thanks, but I have been around the great mythical quest for a "third way" long enough to realize that hybrids collapse to Leftism.

       @Cirdan You mean well, but there's that old saying about the road to Hell being paved with good intentions.

       @amerika People on the right call Commons Capitalism communism, Marxism, or Socialism and hate it. People on the left call it traditional capitalism and hate it. People in the middle call it just another workers' coop. They all dismiss it. All of them are wrong.

       @Cirdan I do not hate it, but I think it illogical. You get the worst of both systems that way (sort of like mixed-economy societies but worse).
