We should take control from the owners of these industries and hand it over to the workers for real democratic control

The workers already do have full democratic control over these industries. The perception of ownership is something invented by the workers. That's the thing about democracy, though, democracy favours the strong and pushes the weak aside. We're here because the workers scare easily. They just want their little acreage out in the middle of nowhere where they can hide from other people. Hence why our cities ultimately end up like rural areas, with isolation from people and requiring vehicles to do anything when they occasionally decide to emerge from their shell.

But I get it even the slightest threat to property rights is scary :P

All you've suggested is that the workers should start to exercise their democratic rights more. That's not scary. That's how it is supposed to work. But good luck. It is quite true that talking to your MP/MPP/MLA/councillor is a scary proposition for most. The few who are not bothered by it thereby take control of the wealth.
