> where the ownership of capital decides

Well, "the ownership of capital", in a lot of public companies, is basically an absentee landlord. So it's not entirely about ownership, but rather about management. You can have cooperatives that are de-facto feudal/tyrannical structures, and private companies that are de-facto democracies.

I was talking about democracy with respect to employees. Even then, an important aspect of democracy is one person one vote (equality of access to power), which is untrue in public companies.

Having been part of a technical organization that was a democracy: no.

I'll take a monarchy over 5-hour meetings where nothing is decided and the room hates each other any day.

So you believe a dysfunctional, albeit democratic, company is the goal?
