I don’t understand the difference and I don’t think I ever will
I think the best way to put it is that a leftist is someone who believes that workers should own the wealth that they create, while a liberal is someone believes in "socially progressive causes" without examining the underlying systems that bring about the necessity of "socially progressive causes".
For example, a liberal would want more woman CEOs, while a leftist would want to get rid of CEOs.
Who runs the company then?
The workers.
Neat. How do they do that? Big zoom meeting or something?
Democratically, generally.
It doesn't mean everybody has to decide and approve everything, but you could vote for who does. That's one method, at least. Some workplaces might find having no management at all better. But the important thing is it's up to the workers (who are also the owners)
Right but technically how does it happen? Does everyone have to gather in the same room? Mail-in votes? How long does it take? Are there 'campaigns' for leaders?
I don't mean to suggest it's bad, just that it seems really slow and potentially problematic from a lot of angles that current corporate structure doesn't have.
