    Do you seriously think that for example the USAs democracy represents the will of the people? Democratic representation does not mean capitalistic multi party system that’s not how you measure democracy.

        I’m not the person you replied to, but you do see the reasoning, right? The original comment was a criticism of representative democracy, likely in favor of Democratic Centralism. Democracy is far more complex than just “mob rule,” you have to take into account local populations.

        Participatory economics is a good example of how decentralized democracy can work.

          The issue with democracy is that it inherently doesn’t protect minority rights.

          That was the initial intention of the US political system. Clearly, it hasn’t worked out too well because of things like gerrymandering, but that doesn’t mean you just go back to the system that clearly has errors.
