i want everyone to, as precisely as possible, describe what their idea of democracy is today.

So many people talk about it, love it, hate it, want to change it, but i want to know how you define democracy. Let's have it. Because people are dying because of what this word means. So, what does it mean to you?

Democracy is the majority taking away the rights and privilages of the minority, for their own good.

It's the cannibilization of society.

That being said, it has some useful purposes.

As long as individual rights can be preserved, democratic decision making is often superiour to other forms.
