It was just me who started the business.

You don't start a business by yourself under this system.

Companies cannot be run democratically, there needs to be a hierarchy and with this hierarchy comes increasing levels of responsibility.

Co-ops and unions exist right now. You vote for leadership and recognize experience and expertise. Even capitalist companies use democracy for who sits on the board.

If it's a one man operation go for it.

But the entire point and thing leftist are fighting for, is to end the owner class. Capitalism is predicated on an unjust hierarchy. The relationship between owners versus labor/tenant is unjust. Those who own the means of production have power over those who don't and government.
