it's more about how modern firms are pre-figuring planning processes, or in this case feedback loops.

(And if we take extremely pessimistic view, the seeds of capital appeared throughout 14th-17th century as bourgeois guilds, which for socialism we can take coops as a seed, and they have been around for like 150 years sadness, so the true harvest (coops outcompeting capitalists, cause they don’t have externalities of profit) hasn’t even started to rise)

kinda, more of a specific observation on the worker happiness in specific toyota plant and what were they doing there (sensational headline would be like worker working 30 second per minute unhappy in gm, worker working 57 seconds per minute for toyota - happy, what gives?)
