Well, there's nothing inherent about democracy. Nothing about reality inherently forces society towards a democracy.

Our democracies are just as socially constructed as our workplace structures. One of them (society) we've managed to make democratic. The other (businesses) are much smaller, and larger in number, and thus harder to influence overall as a system, thus it's taking us much longer to push them towards democratic structures as well.

Violence tends to speed things along.

Just sayin.
