I most definitely agree with Bill and Paul. The way I see it this could be regarded as a form of "collectivized capitalism" (to use the vocabulary of Murray Bookchin). It worries me that quite a few syndicalists seem to have this vision of "workers control" and exclusive "ownership" over their labour-product. It seems to go entirely against the basic communist principle of "to each according to his/her need".
