You’re talking about democratic control of corporations, and that sounds like a good idea to me. If corporations were countries they would be dictatorships, making the CEOs dictators. We know dictatorships invariably result in human atrocities, which is why I for one prefer Democratic forms of governance.
The same seems to be true of corporations: on a long enough time scale, darling startups turn into sociopathic, power-hungry money making engines. The Supreme Court says corporations are people, and if that’s true they are dark triad personality types, indifferent to human suffering, human rights abuses, and environmental destruction as long as there is profit to be made. I think democratic control of corporations would temper these sociopathic tendencies and give corporate persons a little more humanity.
