Aah the misconception about democracy.

People think that democracy is fantastic, just vote for what you want and it will be given.

Nothing is further from the truth.

Democracy has one and only one specificity that puts them over the others, it's that you can kick a bad leader out (without bloodshed).

That's it!

Now before our american friends tells me I'm wrong, you have to have a functional democracy, which you don't.

Personally it's literally the only thing that, IMO, is missing from anarchism (are there anarchist systems with strict voting rules?). But that's just my personal view of course.

    Thats not democracy. Democracy is rule by the people.

    You mean 'electoral representative democracy' which you describe accurately. Other kinds do exist.

    Not that any of thrm are allowed or americans believe they exist.

    If democracies work, why are they against humanity?

    Using Norway, Sweden and Denmark as deem for supporting the Knesset raid upon palestinians.
