    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.
