The Caldari State is a corporate plutocracy -- it isn't a tyranny; citizens have some voice in their government if they have the money to pay for it; they can always buy shares. While that does put it out of reach for most people, there are certainly funds and other ways to pool their money in order to gain some voice, though to be fair major shareholders (like most corporate officers) probably have more weight than many of the largest funds. Mens Reppola had/has a 5% stake in Ishukone, and called for the company to release 20% of its board-held shares to employees; considering there are millions (if not billions) of Ishukone employees...well, there's a slight imbalance.
