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.

Get the Democracy mug.The voting section of the site was the democracy. Wrong level of abstraction. Deliberately. To steal from me.
Hym "You know that this is not what I meant by 'Democracy.' You need to stop letting him suggesting things he knows will not work to protract is own worthless existence AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN. The time he wastes is not free for you. There is a cost he is deferring when he does this."

Get the Democracy mug.Similar to liquid courage, liquid democracy is the result of drinking alcohol beverages and becoming more and more democratic. Rants may include: "merica is the best country in the world," "the white house is where it the president lives," and "I voted for my high school student body president."

Get the liquid democracy mug.Its interesting what people have called democracy since 2020. Trying to force everybody to wear a mask anywhere they go is not democracy, its a nearly totalitarian government. People that think Biden is democracy are not as different from people that think Trump is democracy as they may think. Neither Biden nor Trump gives a fuck about them, and they'll never really see that, because they still think Biden is on a different side than Trump. Its two sides of the exact same coin, Democrat and Republican.
The reality of democracy is any rights you're not fighting for, you don't have. As long as you never wake up, the people calling themselves the government will take right after right away as long as nobody is governing them, reminding them that they are of the people, for the people (and not over the people), and the same is true of everyone else.
