i'm trying to learn here, this is an honest question.

some people say that "workers should own the means of production" (in other words, the company). if you agree with this view, then i have a question: how do new companies get made? i.e. if you aren't already employed somewhere, you will maybe look for work. and if all companies already have enough workers, then where do you work? how does a new company come into existence? (who provides the startup resources and who takes the risk if the company fails and the startup resources cannot be recovered?)
