"Soviet" means council. Very similar ideas as what you are proposing here. See also: Kibbutz.

"Soviet" means council.
The way the Soviets used the word "Soviet" is different from how we use it today. They called it the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for a reason: the term "soviet" by itself only referred to a government body (for example: the upper house of parliament in the Russian Empire was called the State Soviet).
A socialist soviet, on the other hand, was a council for the purpose of implementing Socialism; they managed public property, carried out the central government's economic plans, and forced workers to do hard labor for little or no pay.
Very similar ideas as what you are proposing here.
u/EddieC is proposing Syndicalism, not Communism. He ain't proposing any kind of government ownership of the means of production or a command economy, but rather: worker ownership of businesses within a market economy. Huge difference.

Again, that's Communism, not Syndicalism.
