> I guess that’s democracy? "Democracy" isn't a magical word which renders everything problem-free and perfect. Direct-democracy is a concept which is plagued with a multitude of problems, both technical and practical and ideological, which are not possible to rule out. Lack of accountability, decision-making in ignorance, and tragedy of the commons, for instance. If we want to live in a free and open and inclusive society where rule of law prevails then we can't simply throw the "democracy" tag around and call it a done deal.
