You ignore the Anarchists and their democratic system.
Just as the immorality of dictatorship in government is replaced by democracy the same thing must happen in the workplace before people can really be called free.
It didn't survive and it stayed together because of bond of fighting. How would it handle people who didn't want to work? How did it handle the people who wanted to strt their own business and give better benefits than people who were in the "union"?
It was destroyed by force.
And it worked.
Without dictatorship in the workplace.
And without dictatorship another kind of society flourished. One you have never seen. But one seen by George Orwell.
"I had dropped more or less by chance into the only community of any size in Western Europe where political consciousness and disbelief in capitalism were more normal than their opposites. Up here in Aragon one was among tens of thousands of people, mainly though not entirely of working-class origin, all living at the same level and mingling on terms of equality. In theory it was perfect equality, and even in practice it was not far from it. There is a sense in which it would be true to say that one was experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of Socialism. Many of the normal motives of civilized life—snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the boss, etc.--had simply ceased to exist. The ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money-tainted air of England; there was no one there except the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone else as his master."
