    Please explain. Seems to me like democracy is people having a roughly equal say in what the government does. (If it’s a representative democracy, then though electing officials who will do so)

      Please explain.

      I have to explain this to you? Fine.

      Do tell… how democratic is the place you work?

          so it isn’t.

          So… despite you living in a (supposedly) “democratic” society, your actual day-to-day life is governed by that which is decidedly anti-democratic, correct?

            No my day to day life is literally governed by the government.

            What would you call a democracy? Who should be citizens of a company? Right now, publicly owned companies do reflect the desires of their ‘citizens,’ the shareholders. Does that count as democratic for you?

                So that means all the employees are citizens of the company? Only current employees? What about contractors? An equal say, or proportional to their experience or skill? And does every decision need to be made in that manner?
