Council communism

Council communism is a type of communism that believes that the workers should control their workplaces by electing councils or committees. It has been around since the early 1900s and some people think it is a better way of running a society than other forms of communism. In council communism, the councils or committees would make decisions about how the workplace should be run, like how many people should be employed, how much money should be paid to each worker, and what kind of products the workplace should make. The workers would also discuss ideas about how to improve their workplace and make it better for everyone. The councils would then vote on these ideas and decide what is best for everyone. This type of system would allow for workers to have more say in how their workplace is run, rather than just being told what to do by a central government or company.
