I think Prof. Freundlich (in Thom Hartmann's video) is right about 'framing' Mondragon as 'a better way of doing business.' You could also frame it as "the Future of Capitalism," since ownership is still in private hands. That way, you do avoid people foaming at the mouth and screaming "soshulism, soshulism."
