*Capital markets. Commodity markets are fine as long as you align stakeholders with ownership. So worker and consumer coöps. Rental and housing coöps are a great example.

    How do you prevent the commodities turning into capital?

    You don't have to. If it becomes capital, then it is subject to the same multi-stakeholder analysis.

    If I bought a printer, it would just be a commodity. If I start selling products made from said printer and hire more people, then it would need to be a worker coöp.

    How would an authoritarian socialist system handle someone wanting a printer given that it could be used as capital?
