The Ideal Self-Managing Enterprise Proposed by the Socialists

I - General Outline of the Self-Management Program

·        The goal of the self- management program is:

a)      that "the workers themselves organize the control of production and the distribution of the fruit of their work; "

b)      "and, more generally, that the citizens decide in all fields everything that concerns their lives" (Documentation Socialiste, no. 5, p. 57).

·        The self-management program has a threefold basis:

a)      "socialization of the principal means of production;

b)      "democratic planning; "

c)      "transformation of the State" ("Fifteen Theses, " p. 11).
