    that's the idea, yes. If workers own their factory and enjoy the profits, they won't move production abroad and make themselves unemployed.

    However, the Mondragon corporation does invest in foreign countries

    It may work.  But there is a caveat.  If someone else can set up a factory elsewhere and create things more cheaply then the local company tends to go bankrupt.  You can have a level of protectionism to counter this.  But that leads to a lower standard of living for others so they would vote against it.  No one seems to realize that a nation is like a boat.  If everyone keeps drilling holes through the bottom you ALL sink.
