You are incorrect. I absolutely run my businesses as a dictatorship because I’m the owner. We don’t “vote” on what to do, if you don’t like my ideas you are FIRED. Same goes for my tenants, if you don’t like my rules then get out of my property!!
I dictatorship would mean they'd die if they didn't do what you liked lol. It's in a government context, not a contractual obligation. A tennet can find another place to live, and a worker can find another company.
In what world does a dictatorship require everyone else to die if they don't agree? They have control over the institution, but they don't have total control over every individual.
You do not know what you are talking about. If you want to run your business as a democracy fine but you won’t be successful. I will continue running mine with an iron fist as a dictatorship.
It's literally the definition, you are just objectively wrong

You are wrong, and stop telling me how to run my business
god forbid someone steal a packet of soy sauce.
Stealing anything from a place of business is unforgivable
I just imagine you as like a stiff Japanese business man and you're constantly holding up a katana, waiting to cut someone's head off for a petty crime.
Not far from the truth, but I am an all American businessman and as such prefer firearms to blades.
way to suck all the cool out of it by being American.
Why do you talk like you're in a kung fu movie?
