Leftist isn't the same as liberal (e.g., leaning toward the US Democratic Party) but more along the lines of socialism and supporting some form of worker control over the means of production. America tends to conflate modern liberalism/social liberalism with "The Left," socialism, and communism since there isn't much of an actual Left in the country.

fuck worker control over production

most retarded idea ive ever heard

having all the employees have equity gives them the incentive to not innovate

they wont do drastic changes because it will affect their jobs

its common sense

It's common sense that folk who own a factory cooperatively won't innovate? I don't see why not, it's human nature to respond to incentives.

smedley u seem to be aware of incentives but dnt actually see how it will play out

if u had all the workers run the company u wouldnt do dramatic shifts to the company

ud keep everything the same

ud make sure everyone's jobs were in tact.

ur not gonna do massive corporate restructurings nor are u gonna do massive layoffs

ur not gonna take excess risk if u have employees running the show

innovation is all about taking risks. a employee based corp will have incentives to not take risk.

cus it'll risk LOSING THEIR JOBS. u have many community banks that arent willing to transition to the 21st century and invest their profits to innovate and grow and adapt. this is just a example of the unwilingness to adapt and innovate to the times

now multiply that 50x with employee owned corps. u pretty much have a UNION running the whole company

good luck with thatlol. the incentive of a union is to keep their jobs and keep the salaries being paid. which reduces risk taking behavior if the incentive is to keep everyone's jobs

this kills innovation

Sorry about the left-handed-pun :c

MSGB once said that about me:
Well you're in luck , there's a Austrian Socialistic Cat out there and she'll want to take 30% of your money, use 10% for salaries, 10% for war, 5% for public works and 5% for the poor, and call you greedy if you want to keep your money.

So do I count as leftist now?

I'm fairly on that side of the spectrum, tho I resist claiming some sort of ideology because I don't really trust ideologies. I'd be willing to discuss it with you on skype.
