"kind of democratic between the owners" is just oligarchy. still not democratic.

That's like saying the foreigners not having a vote is being not democratic though. Because 100% of the owners have voting rights not only a few.

I think what you intend to criticize is the fact that owners and "employees" can be separated, right? If yes then I'm with you.

Well, yeah, I'm criticizing the fact that owners under the current capitalistic system are only a handful of people who usually aren't workers. If "employees" had a say in how a company is run, then it would be democratic.
