When the goal is economic democracy, the means will be democratic. Gains and reforms won through workplace organization, community mobilizations, and democratic political action can methodically replace capitalist title with human entitlement, private capitalist ownership with social ownership, and replace the dictatorship of master-servant relations with workplace democracy.
