Using strong words is cool and all, but it doesn’t talk about the important part: is it really bad? If the workers are treated well, its a win win situation

No matter who you are, you are a slave of the economy. Companies with everyone being able to take decisions democratically exist, you’re not forced to take the traditional rule, it’s just the safest one

"If the slaves are treated well, it's a win-win"

I'm not just using strong words. I suspect you miss the point of the analogy (i.e., the owner vs the worker).

No matter who you are, you are a slave of the economy.

Because the economy is centered on capital and profit. If our economy was based on community need rather than shareholder profit, workers would always be working for themselves.
