socialism
Workers own everything
Socialism is a theory or policy of social organization that discourages or minimizes private ownership of business and advocates common ownership of land and of the means of production and distribution of goods.
On a spectrum, some people see socialism as midway between capitalism and communism.
Aspects of socialism can be found to varying degrees in different countries in which the costs and operation of basic services—like water, electricity, Internet, healthcare, and police service—are publicly owned and operated.
