    I adore the way you think, sincerely. Wouldn’t that be a wonderful world, where employees could vote management/leadership out of their positions?

    What a fantastic idea.

    Again, sincerely, no sarcasm!

        I would not have guessed that it would have a name. … I mean, I should have.

        Thank you for supplying me with a rabbit hole from which I’m unlikely to surface anytime soon.

        I did a little research and it sounds like that’s definitely a very important part of anarco syndicalism. Is it truly the main feature of it?

          Glad I could help! Like all things there’s more to it, but the basic concept is to fire all bosses and have the workers run all the work places as a co-op. Personally, I believe this would end ‘greedflation’ and definitely make the world a better place :)

            I mean you could still have greedy workers, but they’d be responsible for their destiny. The co-op could price their products or services out of reach of customers and consumers, but sharing the fruits of their labor shares that responsibility.

            I feel it would make more sense to do it like the Romans did, compelled leadership by round robin IIRC. That, or elected leadership. I think it’s important to have a focused job that does decision making for the good of the group.

            Anarchy never really appealed to me. It always felt like a lot of anxiety. Also I suspect that our species won’t survive unless we can all unite, so there’s that…

            Edit: Also, forgot to link, Robert Reich on inflation and corporate profits.

      There is a company in switzerland (i think?) that does it. So the employees vote on whos gonna be boss for the next year and whos gonna get hired and all that stuff, not just voting out.

      I have seen a documentary about it and they all were VERY happy to work in that enrivonment
