Who put in initial capital to pay for production and workforce?
That’s an absurd argument to make. It’s like saying that somebody who put in the capital to build a slave labor camp and having spent the effort to capture slaves becomes entitled to the work the slaves produce. Furthermore, the state can take the role of lending out initial capital for worker owned cooperatives and run state owned enterprises that provide services that are necessary, but not profitable.
Not really sure what point you’re trying to make here. The question is how labour is organized, and who benefits from the profits the company generates. Capitalist model is just one approach to organizing companies. An alternative is a socialist model where people doing the work own the company and benefit from the profits created by it. Huawei is a huge cooperative that produces the same things capitalist companies produce without the exploitation of the workers.
Workers. Capital is, ultimetely, congealed labour.
Who gives a shit?
