    I’m not following. You’d be ok with risking beheading to overthrow a monarch. But you won’t overthrow a corporate CEO?

    You think corporations don’t exist under monarchy?

      I feel like it’s more about distribution of responsibility. If you have a king, he’s either a good king and runs things well, or a bad king and runs things poorly. A King’s success is generally measured by the quality of his kingdom, which is at least somewhat tied to the wellbeing of subjects.

      In a corporation, even if you have a comparitively “good” CEO, he’s still answerable to the shareholders, and thus obligated to raise the stock value by any means necessary, a factor which is not necessarily dependent on the wellbeing of his employees.

      no, I don’t. They have far more complex structures. Just because you remove a CEO, does not mean the whole company will go away. How many CEOs have been fired and replaced? Plenty. These companies still remain though, corrupting everything around them.

        I will say I’m the UK we still have a king that we couldn’t physically overthrow although we could possibly remove them constitutionally if the democracy aligned in that direction. However we do still have amazon here.

        I think the difference between UK and US for workers rights comes from how we treat lobbying differently.

        Yeah, but the point is that corporations still exist and rule in most monarchies at this very moment. You would just be adding an extra layer of something to overthrow.
