Why does every single democracy inevitably devolve into an oligarchy? How do you establish a real democracy?
>>17974683>Why does every single democracy inevitably devolve into an oligarchy?because the uneducated, poor, bottom class of society gets equal representation with those who have power, wealth, education and influence. So the elite class just keeps the lower classes dumb and control their vote.Its also wrong any policy should be acted upon when its a 51/49 split but that's exactly what democracy encourages. >How do you establish a real democracy?you don't. Democracy is a flawed system inherently for the very reason I've already stated. The best form of government is a form of oligarchy that has its best intentions towards the lower class. IMO monarchism is still the best form of government.

>>17974683Real Democracy can only exist at the City or Tribal level, where things are small enough people can form civic pride and participation in their local affairs without the need of distant and uncaring """representatives"""
