I never understood this idea of democracy==freedom. Democracy in Europe never led to freedom, not after 1918 and not before. Communists after 1945 were voted in

I never understood this idea of democracy==freedom. Democracy in Europe never led to freedom, not after 1918 and not before. Communists after 1945 were voted in. PiS in Poland, Fidesz in Hungary and ANO in Czechia were voted in. (And of course, Nazis too) I also never understood why people think that allowing one yes/no for millions of unique individuals and thousands of square kilometers is a good idea.
