Should the workers own the means of production?

No Hobbes continues to be right, as jobs get more specialized it makes even more sense for ownership and the responsibilities therein to be handled by a select few

Question is ideological and not pragmatic, in different industries the barrier to entry of the means of production is higher than others, for example a street music busker needs only a guitar, but a steel producer needs an entire factory, mines etc.... a leather worker needs their tools, a desk etc.

Obviously those who invest in such facilities should be compensated IF and only IF there is a consumer demand for their product, now in a theoretical totally-free-market world everyone (i.e. workers) would own the means of production to their particular skill, but that's not the case... so what's important is that individual workers have the capacity to bargain and sell their skills to the highest bidder.

That means predatory contracts should be illegal, and a community should work towards having free movement of labor, obviously the owners of the means of production would seek out the best teams possible, unencumbered by predatory or exclusive contracts between workers and their competitors.

No.
not only are the workers too dumb to run a company, they shouldn't even be allowed to vote for government.

where else but democracy and socialism do you find people too stupid to manage their own affairs and too stupid to run a business in charge of government and production?

how retarded is that?

your shithole doesn't promote intelligent workers to management?

Management has no motivation if they don't get paid better than workers.
