yes, in a heartbeat. for one thing, I can just snap my fingers and say "this is a worker coop now!" and get to work with everyone else. Assuming I for some reason can't, I'm still in the best position possible to help the workers in the factory. And since you're just placing my in the role, I don't have to work my way up, there's no time for me to get corrupted. I'll fire the rest of management because this is my fifedom now. I could also start giving away whatever we produce until I run out of money to pay people, or just give away my money directly. Assuming I couldn't do any of those things, there is no solid reason I shouldn't take it because the workers will be abused whether I run it or someone else does, I might as well improve my quality of life. Purity is a calvanist idea and has no place in leftism.
This. You might not be able to stop the exploitation all the way down the supply chain, but you can at least collectivize what you have power over.
