Then you can point to the specific Marxist texts that propose that "directors" act "as though they were running workers co-operatives by paying out disproportionate levels of remuneration to their colleagues rather than to shareholders and / or leaving working capital in the businesses (which could have prevented nationalistation, the formalised acknlowledgement of their socialism)."
You will obviously also be able to point to "workers co-operatives" that have shareholders other than the workers.

Anyway, back to Marxism being back. As I said, it never went away. Another illustration is that Marxists wanted to control the "commanding heights of the economy" (I believe a phrase attributed to Lenin). The UK Labour party of the '50s / '60s saw this as controlling production of coal, steel, the railways, etc. The irony is that with the collapse of those industries, the state has taken over a much greater share of employment and GDP than was represented by those industries - by virtue of its control of health, education, pensions and now even major banks. One could argue that we have reached the socialist nirvana that the founding fathers of the Labour party aspired to.
No. "One" wouldn't argue any such nonsense.
Unless "one" was a total idiot.
