People have been trying "democratic economic projects" for a very long
time, and while I don't expect them to go away, they haven't show any
signs of revolutionising the economy either. In order to outcompete
capitalist businesses, they would have to have some kind of
competitive edge, that is nowhere to be seen so far as I can tell.
Capitalist businesses have a major advantage in that they are far
easier to run and to raise money for, particularly once you hit the
major leagues.
