    I’m getting a little lost - you said both “social democracy” and “democratic socialism” there. I just want to be sure that was intentional? I’m still a little unclear what the better system’s rules are. I don’t mean to be ungrateful for the explanation, but this section in particular didn’t clear anything up for me:

    people can still get rich, own companies, and buy jet skis, but they can’t take a successful company that hundreds of people have helped build and centred their lives around and hand control of it to their unqualified, arrogant, spoiled children to run into the ground

    So… okay, but how is this codified in law? No inheriting?

      They’re using the terms wrong, don’t worry that you can’t follow; they’re not being consistent

      You’re right, apologies, I fucked up there. Changed it to democratic socialism (still not an expert!).

      At the most basic level, employees at a workplace would elect their management, rather than management being chosen by the business owner/s.

      I posted this link to another comment, it’s from a guy who runs a really good youtube channel that’s definitely worth checking out. I know being asked to watch a video sucks, but he explains it a million times better than I can.
