Workplace Democracy is the application of democracy to the workplace. (Voting systems, due process, systems of appeal, etc.)

Workplace democracy is extremely versatile; It can be implemented in as many ways as political democracy is implemented. Its implementation often depends on the size and culture of the organization.

Historically, workplace democracy has followed the labor movement both in the UK and the US. But with the decline in organized labor, especially in the US and US-controlled firms, workers have fewer opportunities to experience workplace democracy.

Workplace democracy is a key compenent in many forms of socialism, such as market socialism, because it replaces decisions made by private individuals with decisions made by workers. Organizations that implement workplace democracy are considered worker co-operatives.

Hi, I'm smarter than you! I use big words in an awkward context when there's a more recognizable word that means the same thing!
"It's hardly helpful at all and superfluous as a decorative element."
"Tests have shown that AI may soon be capable of replacing human intellectual labor. AI designed furniture may become superfluous in the future."

A joke started by libertarian socialist political commentator Vaush about how Americans would have already been socialists if socialism "came wrapped in an American flag" and didn't have the baggage that the word does today. Many super capitalism memes also attempt to highlight how regular capitalism restricts freedom of the average individual, whereas super capitalism (market socialism) would not.

The term has nothing to do with Mussolini's supercapitalism which was the fascist conception of modern capitalism as a denigration of an older, better, heroic capitalism.
"Listen up y'all. You've had regular capitalism and all the wealth just goes to the corporations and these fat cats just sit up there at their big ol'... they dont do shit okay- I'm selling you... SUPER CAPITALISM! SUper CAPITALISM is SO invested in private enterprise that every single individual actually collectively owns a portion of the place they work at! You're a McDonald's fry-- chef-man? You work! That's part of your business son! That's you now! SUPER CAPITALISM! In addition... I am SO in favor of market incentives and market forces that I *reject* the private ownership of ANY industry which interferes with the function of those market forces. TransportatIon? Healthcare!? These are INELASTIC MARKETS DUMB FUCK....... SUPER CAPITALISM!"

1 Communists who are anti-american imperialism to the extent that they defend cartoonishly bad people/countries as long as they claim to be socialist and challenged the interests of the U.S. or some other western nation. They can be found defending Joseph Stalin, Bashar al-Assad, and North Korea.

It began as an insult to members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), who supported the Soviet Union's response to the Hungarian Revolution (1956) and the Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia (1968)

2 People who fetishize the aesthetics of 20th century socialist states and treat communism like a social group rather than a political ideology; not everyone who calls themself communist on Twitter is a tankie.
Tankie: "I try not to argue with people Lenin would have shot."
T: "Come back after you've read theory, radlib."
T: "Happy birthday, Stalin! 🎉🎊"
