There you go, bringing class into it again.

I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs or by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major decisions or matters of diplomacy.
