Better?

Better?

Allowing that a workers' society might be feasible, it is of course true that one must first show that it is preferable to a managerial society.

It is in fact preferable because a managerial society is undesirable for a number of reasons.

First, the restriction of power to a few, militates against egalitarianism, and we allow that egalitarianism is desirable.

Second, a managerial society is grossly inefficient. This can be seen by looking at New Zealand. Neither the managers nor the workers in a managerial society are functionally at all useful.
