Let's just ignore that under capitalism the means of production are controlled by dictators rather than democracies and that anyone who exercises their "freedom" to refuse to serve under a dictator will either be sentenced to death by homelessness and starvation or will be imprisoned for the crime of being homeless and used as a slave in a for-profit prison.
my first big proto-leftist revelation was "wait if we live in a 'democracy' but are under a totalitarian dictatorship for 8-10 hrs a day that also extends into our personal life then aren't we just living in a dictatorship?"
The best AFL-CIO meme was a campaign around "democracy at work ". I think everyone intuitively knows that all workplace related affairs are dangerously undemocratic.
