Well, there’s nothing inherent about democracy. Nothing about reality inherently forces society towards a democracy.
Our democracies are just as socially constructed as our workplace structures. One of them (society) we’ve managed to make democratic. The other (businesses) are much smaller, and larger in number, and thus harder to influence overall as a system, thus it’s taking us much longer to push them towards democratic structures as well.

You get where I was going with this! It’s exactly that constructed form, and the supposed favoring of it, that led to my asking this.
If a society claims to embrace democracy, but doesn’t extend this to the organization of its businesses, how much do they embrace democratic values?
Not as much as we’d like, unfortunately. A lot of people are DINOs. (Democracy In Name Only)
Violence tends to speed things along.
Just sayin.
Not in this case it does not.
