How might democratic workplace organization help address corporate environmental negligence compared to current capitalist systems?
Hasan Piker argues that democratically organized workplaces could better prevent environmental damage than current capitalist structures. Using DuPont Chemical as an example, he points out how the company has historically dumped toxic waste and created widespread pollution with PFAS chemicals and microplastics under the existing system. In a democratically organized workplace, workers would have greater decision-making power and could directly challenge environmentally harmful practices. Since workers live in the affected communities, they would be more motivated to stop pollution that damages their own neighborhoods, farms, and water supplies. This worker-controlled approach could create stronger internal accountability mechanisms, as employees would have both the power and personal stake to demand environmental protection measures that current corporate hierarchies often ignore.
