Why so negative about democracy?
It’s time to be honest that it isn’t the end game state, and simply it doesn’t really function as it’s sold. It’s a system, and over time all system have their weakness exploited. Democracy fails along side capitalism and at country or ‘union’ scale. Democracy won by forceful colonisation - and it is less directly controlling for its members than alternatives.
I have a hunch the right direction is decentralising large (and small) parts again. It’s a coordination and communication problem - not to dissimilar to decentralised computer science problems, game theory and peer coordination.
I don’t have the solution - however, more decentralised, fewer (simpler) laws, more accountability, more transparency, better leaders, less corruption, public service is actually public service - not public beatdown or public theft. A lot would be different. It needs to self-heal or better prevent democracies failures at scale.
