Once the fetishistic forms have been sufficiently internalized by the majority of the population, democracy is the cheapest form of domination: the democratic subjects spontaneously and against themselves apply the "economic requirements", the "laws of reality”, the "technological imperatives", the "market expectations", etc. Similarly, a factory very democratically managed by the workers there working remains, in the context of a company that continues to operate according to the market, condemned to generate profits through abstract labor, etc. Their members might even decide, still very democratically, to dismiss some of them to cut costs and survive in the market... Besides, it would not be impossible, at least theoretically, that all businesses are managed as "popular shareholding". It is the capital that reigns, not the capitalists, and the capital may also have its own employees as administrators, following its pseudo-objective laws.
