When most humans are idiots or ignorant (they are), direct democracy doesn’t work. And other forms of democracy also don’t work that well. But the alternative is… authoritarianism, which also doesn’t work.
The only way to achieve a truly liberated society is to have a direct democracy of a well-informed populace and an elimination of social hierarchies, but that’s just a pipe dream… any form of socialism that isn’t Marxist-Leninism or “Democratic Socialism” (begging the capitalists to pls give us at least a crumb of socialism, the false belief that socialism is achievable through peaceful reform under an inequal/capitalist society) is never gonna happen.
Democracy cannot fix idiotism. This is long in the making dumbing down of a population.
If you call the folks that you want to vote for your guy idiots, then they’re probably not going to vote for your guy.
