  Is a Corporation a democracy? Corporations competing in a democratic framework are, to date, the best way of promoting human welfare by producing wealth and distributing power. While corporations themselves are, in the words of Frank Herbert, basically feudal hierarchies, they exist within a framework of (somewhat) meritocratic competition. Did Steve Jobs carry himself like a President of a democratic nation or a benevelent dictator? He succeeded through discernment, and a willingness to cannibalize existing business to find the next big thing. Sometimes the way he carried himself and conducted himself was a detriment. Don't lose sight of the context of this article. Are you still trying to cling to authoritarianism? Do you think Steve Jobs would have succeeded in an authoritarian society? He credits cultural freedom in his biography for his success. Corporations succeed where they support people's self determination. The true progress of Social Justice has largely been through the removal of undue influences of government and organizations over people due to race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. It's the people who would increase undue influences of government and organizations who are engaging in self serving hucksterism.
