Genuinely the best thing you can do is build non-governmental non-oligarchic cooperatively owned organizations
The only way out is through and it is by seizing the means of production, such that the ownership and control is exclusively and explicitly done by labor power
While I was speaking to the intel-community-run-amok aspects, I can soeak to tbe governance-economic aspect frim your reply:
I appreciated DK too, but I think its usage of the word 'seize' (or tyoical attribution to it in any case) may have been counterproductive to its author's motivations.
Perhaps because I don't believe the English language contains precisely the alternative concept I'm looking for in one word, but I'm inclined to think 'saturate & outclass' is both much more palatable to all the parties concerned, in place of 'seize', and better-descriptive of what modus operandi I believe will be more effective. The image I want to convey is of a market producton volume under the co-op context that performs so much betterand is so much more engaged with by its 'customer-stakeholders' that the oligarchic-driven incumbents are rendered irrelevant into insignificance by tbe size, expansion, and caliber of the cooperativrly-owned concerns.
I totally concur that the idealized firm would be able to actually sit in the space that you describe, namely, providing a better more coherent, more integrated service at a more equitable price point across the range of services
However, that’s not the world we live in and the reality is that existing monopolies don’t remain entrenched accidentally. They remain entrenched because they use state power via the law to entrenche their immoral activities.
In the face of that, you actually have to be - not just passive - because you will be faced with active attack.
So seizing really does a certain point mean at the detriment to existing monopoly power, and more or less whatever that takes to fight
