Company Owned By Humanity

Wouldn't it be nice if there were companies that are owned by humanity in the sense that they are managed by democratic decisions where every person in the world has one equally weighted vote?

Here, various aspects of this idea can be discussed in detail.

If you want to organize online polls that many people can participate in easily, what software can you use? What software meets the criteria of open source, security, transparency, good documentation, scalability, flexibility, etc.?

This question is relevant because establishing a “company owned by humanity” requires a solution that enables people to participate in voting on matters concerning this company.

Which software may only be suitable for smaller communities? Are there technical solutions for voting software that could theoretically be scaled to the entire world population?

That's a very good question and a difficult one to answer. I agree with you that this is probably one of the biggest problems with conducting online elections. I've created a separate post to brainstorm solutions to this problem: https://lemmy.ml/post/38752026
