state owned is pretty clear in its meaning; it's a company that is funded, owned, and controlled by the state.

privately owned here includes both what would classically be called private companies (owned by a few private individuals), and also public companies (publicly traded on a stock exchange). basically, any company where the ownership is in the hands of some amount of private individuals/entities, who may or may not work for the company.

a worker owned company is a company where total control is in the hands of its workers; through direct democracy, or through electing leadership, or through some other means.

Worker owned 100% all day every day. I'd be a terrible syndicalist if I wasn't stumping for that as hard as possible.

States are incompetent bureaucracies with bad political motivations (I work public sector lol). Private industry is wage theft.
