Investing, Buying Shares, Is Ownership?

A, let's see here. This comes from patron sam markham. He says, jacob, it seems that you are conflating investing with owning,. buying shares of companies, whether directly or via four o one k, is ownership. And ought we own companies, those that broadly represent the means of production, rather than stain and allow other exclusive ownership of those means? By owning, we can vote. By not owning, we cannot. Tactically, one could invest in four o onek for the matching benefits, getting more money, and then transfer those into a self directed i r ray to promote the common good.
