That's exactly what it means. You're the But-For cause of their participation. You are the perverbal Vanguard.
We keep getting tricked into a top-down authoritarian hierarchy by pop culture because thats how predatory finance is structured and now its the only business model in the world.
Authoritarianism isn't something humans invented in the last generation. And even then, there's a huge difference between taking initiative and taking command. Showing leadership doesn't mean becoming a dictator, it means becoming a rallying point for collective action. And yes, every group has some minority of participants in that role. Some individual that is striking out farther than the herd and guiding them in a given direction.
Cooperation > Competition
Even cooperatives require some level of entrepreneurship. The big distinction between capitalism and communism isn't the absence of authority but the distribution of rewards.
Okay but if you don't buy into the whole ayn randian bullshit narrative that there a select few "CEO types" and we're all "supposed to work for them" then you realize everyone can be an entrepreneur. You're doing capitalisms job for itself by convincing yourself you need to submit to authority or make others submit to you if you want to help.
We're trying to fight. We're trying to help. If fighting helps, then lets do that but how are we actually fighting and how it is it actually helping?
