    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?

      Why would a privately owned business need to be democratic? What is the advantage of giving all employees an equal say regardless if theor skills and understanding of the business from a business perspective rather than a moral one? I cannot see any reason to give the guy who is not permitted access to all the secrets and finances equal say with the folks that have this access.

      Have you ever owned, managed, or run a business before?

      Not as much as we’d like, unfortunately. A lot of people are DINOs. (Democracy In Name Only)
