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. State regulation would ensure this 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.

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.

I actually have a similar system, but in my case, it's that most economic activity is conducted by small worker-owned businesses and prosperous small farmers, who also form networks. Originally, my [i]entire[/i] economy was going to be based on said networks, which include factories and miners, but I was told this would not be viable for defending and spreading the revolution. So I instead had a small core of state-owned enterprises keep anything that requires economies of scale, such as heavy industry.

The investors thing is radically good, though. Mind if I adopt it?
