> Democratize ownership

I think there is another word for this.

read To The Finland Station by Edmund Wilson.

There are only a very few cases where Democratize ownership worked and it was under a benevolent dictator. After the dictator died, everything fell apart.

The book you referenced appears to be about the rise of Marxism. I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the GP when I say this, but I think it's worth pointing out that you can democratize ownership under capitalism, e.g. a worker cooperative [1] is a business owned by the workers.

It is more of a case study of the various utopias that have been tried and what the outcomes have been.
