Democracy is a system designed to give representation to the vulnerable. I suppose you're saying that it's possible to have a poorly designed democracy such as one that gives representation to the majority at the expense of the minority, which I agree with.
- monocasa 9y agoPure democracy can be described as three wolves and a sheep deciding on what's for dinner.
- yosito 9y agoHa! That's funny. :) But not entirely accurate. The word "democracy" comes from the word "deme" which essentially a group of individually weak people who band together to make sure that they're all represented against other groups.
- monocasa 9y agoA deme was (and is) just a small municipality. There were plenty of powerful people who were members of and essentially ran a deme.
- snappyTertle 9y agoIndividually weak people can band together and vote to steal from the less weak, but smaller groups. Does voting and being represented make stealing moral?
