Management should be elected by the workers.
Not sure what bastion of knowledge and responsibility you work in, but in every company I've worked for, my average co-worker has been an idiot. Letting them decide who management is would be a disaster.
Employees have better information than investors, especially now. Most markets today are more feudal than free.
If we voted on management, then our workplaces would become even more meritocratic than they are today. The board member's son would have to impress us first.
Can you imagine? More politics in the workplace?
It’s barely tolerable now in most places, even as a worker.
I get the sentiment though. There’s a definite bias towards hiring unfit leaders into leadership roles. I just imagine a Democratic system might foster more of the worker populace rising to the task, but might also cause other, inexperience in leadership issues.
It would be interesting to see experimented.
In Germany you will often find an employee council in companies, which gets elected by the workers.
They don't fill in the leadership, but they have a decision in hiring and firing processes, and general things that matter to the workers. It's like "a seat on the table", which is better than nothing.
Aversion to politics is a symptom of alienation. We should want more politics and more meaningful work rather than the 'I'm forced to work in order to pay rent' system we're currently living.
Would the total amount of politics in our lives change? I mean, right now we're talking about politics for free, like suckers.
