This one is a bit more niche. It’s a short-term revolutionary organizational strategy that would aim to provide a representative framework via distributed fractional shareholding in order to (1) legally seize private capital from a hostile oligarchy, (2) operates a de facto interim government in a post-capitalist/dystopian context.
It would be used as a last ditch effort in lieu of more traditional forms of organization like trade unions and grassroots politics when these have failed. The point would be expediency, to sidestep the immediate need for massive government deposition, restructuring, and/or bloodshed. The key mechanics are of market capture and federalist self-organization.
Market capture apparatus Workers would commandeer the overpowered institutional machinery of modern-day corporatocracy by staging a rapid campaign of mechanized corporate raiding. This would entail using vastly superior numbers to devalue then “eat” corporate entities of increasing capitalization. While this type of raiding would normally face hyperbolic friction due to market efficiency, successful collective action should ignore these effects almost entirely.
Super federalist apparatus The legal tools available for modern corporate organization are extensive and flexible, and crafting democratic and representative structures within these private organizations can and should begin immediately, while market capture is underway. At the outset, however, initial articles of the umbrella (federal) corp would need to be carefully written to strictly enforce the distribution of voting shares. Since aberrant internal power fluctuation would capsize the project and return capital to the free market.
Purpose: Once majority (or total) market capture is achieved, such that the bulk of the economy is technically owned by the umbrella cooperative (the people), the economic takeover would be sufficient to develop a more sensible government without the corruption/interference of the “invisible hand.” It should be much easier to do so after the antagonistic forces of free market capital have been neutralized.
Antitrust: Of course, we are talking about a monolithic transient organization, well beyond the typical monopoly, but the fact that the shareholder base includes all active participants of an economy makes government intervention improbable, and regardless our institutional antitrust measures are demonstrably toothless. Ultimately this revolutionary cooperative should be replaced, because a sensible government designed for the people would ultimately be a more appropriate longterm solution than an adhoc public entity functioning as a superfederalist government.
