Define "real democracy"

• Draiken 2y ago
  Like the American one where unelected billionaires control the government and the populace. I always find it so surprising how people really do believe individuals have any real power despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It's a capitalist society so capital is power. Doesn't get simpler than that. Voting is the circus to distract us so we don't realize how much we're being exploited, while giving a sense of agency that simply does not exist. We can choose but they pick the choices we have.
