That's why we need a finely balanced solution. Humanity tried giving workers total control (USSR) and it was a disaster. We also tried giving workers somewhat less control but still more leverage (socialist policies in India until 90's) and that wasn't much success either. For now, various social contracts within a narrow range of what US does and say, what Sweden does, seem to be working well.
In what alternate universe did the USSR gave workers total control? Maybe before Lenin used the German cash to take Russia out of WW1, do you mean during these months?
The gall of calling Stalin a defender of the workers, this is hilarious.
