As you're the great communist pubah in these parts...

I'm thinking of having the Netherlands adopt a social-ish economy after a popular revolution.

My idea is that corporations are retained but the ownership and management of said corporations is entrusted to employees.  This way an existing company would still operate for profit, but would equally distribute that profit among its employees. Ceos and executives would be elected from the workers by the workers to manage these companies. These elected leaders would permit centralized operation of the company and would appoint lower level managers whose terms would be equal to the leader who appointed them.  State regulation would ensure equal distribution of profit.  Small businesses would be managed the same way, but on a smaller scale. 

Investment in enterprise would be permitted on a personal basis, usually through the formation of investment blocs that would pool individual capital.  Investors in a company would be honorary employees of that company and thus would be entitled to its shared profits alongside their own companies. 

Financial and strategic institutions would be nationalized and managed by a central bureaucracy composed of party leaders. Workers in these industries would be fairly compensated for their labour as deemed appropriate by party officials.

Taxes, tariffs, and the like would be managed by the party bureaucracy. Companies would be free to conduct business and trade abroad through an intermediary party trade commission.  This intermediary would be responsible for the negotiation of fair deals with foreign organizations and states. 

Politically this new quasi socialist state would believe in revolution and equality, but would retain the colonies while acting to develop them and instill a sense of shared nationality.

Obviously there would be some limited inequality as successful investors would receive double or more income in shared profits, but this would be considered a fair reward for prudent decision making. The more successful Dutch industries the better!

The real corruption would be in state owned enterprise, as compensation would be set by the state. Most members of the party would employed by its enterprise.

Thoughts? It's just a rough idea at the moment so feel free to offer suggestions and ooc/ic insights regarding the rp.
