You've probably noticed that there aren't really any successful companies that are run as democracies. There are good reasons for that.

- alexashka 6y agoYou can't get to a better future by demanding that it have existed in the past. That doesn't make any sense. Now I'd really like to hear these 'good reasons' and what makes them 'good'. Before you list them, please try and apply them to 'why should we abandon slavery'. If your arguments work for both instances, please explain why we ever abandoned slavery, since clearly there are 'good reasons' for owning slaves, so much so that Americans fought a civil war over it last I checked.
- __blockcipher__ 6y agoA word of advice, injecting such topics needlessly distracts from the actual point you’re trying to make.
- tacitusarc 6y agoUnless the discussion is about slavery, in which case, fair enough.

- rakoo 6y agoI don't know enough about co-ops but it seems to me they not only redefine the power structure, they also redefine what success (for themselves) is and the means to reach it. Unfortunately ou can't directly compare the two.
- nunie123 6y agoCo-ops are usually a republic, not a democracy. People still have specific roles, and those roles have authority to make specific decisions without getting a majority vote for that decision.
- TimTheTinker 6y agoThere still is a semi-democratic process (barring large-scale network effects for the sake of discussion): whether a given person chooses to become (or stay) a customer. People vote for or against a company’s products/services with their money.
