No indeed, democracy is the group collectively deciding about their conditions. A democracy doesn't necessarily implies elections and officians, that's only one form.
The whole point of a democracy is that people are the priority, all else is a tool for furthering the betterment of society. That a company can decide how it works without input of its workers means it has stopped being a tool and is now an end in itself; that's progressively leaving the territory of democracy.
- creer 3y agoYou are forgetting the owners of the company somewhere in there. Also that different forms of corporations do already exist (in the US), including not-for-profit, cooperative / worker-owned, mutual / member-owned, state-owned corporations and more. So that, yes, even Google could have been founded under a different form of corporation... Oh wait, it was - see its governance and the original purpose for it.
- rakoo 2y agoThat there can be owners of a company who take all decisions is, in itself, a political decision to remove workers from deciding. Yes it is allowed in the current system, of course, because that's what the system is built for. Just like another system allowed people to own other people, but many parts of the world got out of it because it sucks. I'm not forgetting owners, quite the contrary. > Oh wait, it was - see its governance and the original purpose for it. Who cares what the original governance and purpose was ? Does it has any single impact on how things are run today ?
