In Sweden they might say "Been there, tried that" in reference to the Meidner Plan. Among other issues, you haven't considered (yet) the *control* of "DOSPA" (in addition to ownership) and the nature of class rule vis-a-vis the state. Doesn't the Swedish experience re the Meidner Plan suggest some practical problems with redistribution of "DOSPA" and the modern version of "evolutionary socialism"? In solidarity, Jerry
