31. Corporations should be democratized
Edited on Sun Oct-28-07 03:59 PM by GeneCosta
Corporations enjoy the benefits of being public entities: why not democratize their operations? While we're at it, enough of the stupid bickering between socialist Leftists and capitalist Leftists. Democracy and private institutions can co-exist in a market setting. The community has every right to create a charter for business to perform by, and private institutes {not corporations} have every right to operate as they see fit until their contract expires. This could also mean saving the small mom-and-pop shops from having to compete with the corporations if there are two different standards that make sense.

Public services could be socialized, too. Teacher worker councils would work a lot better than teacher unions.
