GP, and you in turn, both contend that the employees are not under a democratic regime within the corporation. I understood that point the first time it was made, and I don't disagree with it, so I didn't really need you to explain it again to me.
Democracy is a form of political organisation, and since GP brought it up to describe the relationship of the employee to the corporation, I infer that they assimilate the corporation to a polis. So what I am asking is what you would call the type of political organisation that describes the relationship of the employee to this "polis" ( the corporation). Feudalism? Monarchy? Theocracy? It's likely none of these three either, but then what describes it best?
Edit: For what it's worth, your description of the corporation as a democracy, where the employees provide labour but are not consulted on decisions sounds like Athenian democracy where the employees play the role of the slaves. I think that this is in tune with the conventional Marxist view of salaried work in capitalist societies. So I guess that's one answer to my question.
