Yes, I understand the principle. But deciding to form a coop, hiring a manager/marketer and being a partner in a company are all skills, and while valuable, they're just just as arbitrary to decide to teach in schools as knowing how to build a vacuum cleaner.

Also, where is the evidence of exploitation? Does this guy make more money than he would if there was profit-sharing? Paying a salary is profit sharing.

His point is that the owner shouldn't be getting any more than the workers. IE, they are all "equal".

This sounds strangely familiar...

I don't recall saying anything like that. Don't worry, I'm not going to eat your children.
