Non voting shares are a minority already. Combine that with the fact that literally trillions of dollars would be aligned against such a idea, i fear it unfortunately relegates it to a thought experiment rather than a pragmatic policy proposal.

That applies to literally everything that goes against business interests. It's not an insurmountable hurdle.

The difference here is that you would be uniting all business interests. Normally they are a fractured group with competing interests. It would take a truly revolutionary movement to enact that kind of change. Not impossible, but also not no particularly likely.
