>If you formed a union at your workplace, you and your colleagues would get to decide the rules like that.

Only if someone before me hadn't decided them first. And even if I decide them, what about the people who come after me? They're forever beholden to the context that I created the rules under.



Rules and leadership get renegotiated periodically, just like a company's board of directors and shareholder ballot initiatives are voted on periodically. A rule set is not a permanent structure.


Except that it is. How likely are the current rules going to be completely revised? It would probably takes countless years for anything to change.
