Ianal but I don't think the laws care about governing structure of corps. You can start a new corp and run it democratically all you want. There are co-ops and other interesting structures out there

We picked democracy because it is very difficult for a citizen to move to a different country/start their own if they are unhappy. Democracy is a fix for that power imbalance.

By contrast its relatively easy to quit and start a new company if you feel like it. That is the control for a company.

Companies have a largely democratic component at the top, called the board. Voters (those who own the company) have representatives on the board. Some boards also have representatives from the employees, that varies.

Who do you think pays for the political election campaign theater of all theses "democratic candidates" though?

I often have to think of Bane putting his hand on the shoulder of that Ben Mendelsohn character in The Dark Knight Rises while asking if he feels in charge. Reminds me of living in a western democracy.

There have been some govts that mandated this type of organization for part of their economy; we usually refer to that as communism.

(no value judgement here, there are day's when I'm quite a commie myself)

> Funny that we picked democracy for our government but we just left corporations as little feudal kingdoms. It seems like quite the oversight.

Congratulations you have reinvented communism from first principles! And you are completely correct in your analysis.
