To me, this is obvious. Most people agree some form of democratic control is good as far as the government goes. They don't see the logical extension that it should apply to the workplace if it's good as well. They haven't seen that as an option. They're told there's one hierarchy businesses can have and don't question it.
I always tell people when they step out on the streets, they walk in a democracy. Yet when they step into the office, they walk into a dictatorship.
Are you contending that if people knew it was an option they would form worker collectives?
