      You don’t have to. If it becomes capital, then it is subject to the same multi-stakeholder analysis.

      If I bought a printer, it would just be a commodity. If I start selling products made from said printer and hire more people, then it would need to be a worker coöp.

      How would an authoritarian socialist system handle someone wanting a printer given that it could be used as capital?

        Depending on the stage of socialist construction, private ownership is either limited, or no longer possible to begin with.
