If it were up to me – and nobody will listen to me – I’d continue allowing the corporations to function as they do for the most part (yeah I’d modify a FEW things but let’s say I couldn’t) – and I would ALSO add some minimal failsafe to allow some level of production to continue on a basic minimum govt level.
Bare minimum. Basic quality. Nothing fancy. The ability to manufacture basic clothing. Basic foods. Basic services. Failsafe production to shore up corporations in lean times but with a possibility of expanding at scale if need be.
They can keep their neoliberal arrangements but it also would allow for an additional choice: people could CHOOSE to abstain from corporate and instead choose neighborhood, community, government products/services.
But it would have to be a choice and not mandated for people under a certain income.
Think of the prison-industrial complex and how it feeds and is fed by corporate tie-ins.
Now imagine the corporate tie-ins were eliminated and instead their supplies were govt produced AND ALSO those products that are ‘enough but not fancy’ could be available for people not in the prison system.
Then there could be more of a balance – and perhaps it could cut away the corporate oligarchy America has become because we wouldn’t necessarily be dependent upon a few billionaires to sustain us all but rather there would be more of a balance.
