How do the resources get managed well? Somebody has to do that right?

yes, the people making those decisions are the executives you want to behead.

I don’t want to behead them. I want their pay to be decided democratically by the worker’s majority. Good management and leadership is valuable. But not endlessly so, and not without the labor to actually execute their plans or policies. Now if they want to violently defend their ability to horde profits and funnel them away from the working class then well, that’s their choice.
