This situation would not be tolerated in an anarchist society. Matters concerned with the workplace are for the workers alone to decide on. This will be one of the major contrasts between today's world and a future anarchist society. Simple For some people, this general emphasis on democracy sounds like a tall order. Many people agree that anarchism is a good idea, but a fair proportion don't accept that it is a practical option in today's world.
Some people argue that society is getting more complex all the time.
Anarchist style democracy simply wouldn't work, it is argued. Anarchists recognise these criticisms. While being advocates of democracy, we are not blind to the problems of human society, or to the fact that a new society will bring with it new problems. Our belief in human capacity is very strong, but we would be the first to accept that a revolutionary society will have some problems similar to now - competition between different individuals, or between factories or, even, between localities over the allocation of supplies. These differences will have to be accommodated and sorted out, most importantly, in a peaceful manner.
