Impending Collapse: Our System Is on the Cusp of Failure

There are several fundamental differences between a democracy in a nation and one at a workplace:

- Someone owns the workplace. No citizen owns the nation.

- If you don't like a workplace, you can switch to another, or start your own. You mostly can't do that with a nation.

- There's nothing preventing people from starting workplaces with a "democratic model" (and there are a few around). They just don't seem to work very well.

The “nation” is a fairly new concept and what was there before did have owners.

The future he talks about might be one where workplaces don’t have an owner either.

Ironically it was once much easier to change nations as well. Or, under some limited circumstances to even start your own. Hard borders are a relatively new thing taking into account the breadth of human history.
