Democracy can mean many things to many people. Heck, even some dictatorial regimes prefer to call their system to be democratic while at the same time they are using the state power to suppress people and to spread lies just to create fear.
In my idea, democracy means that the government is coming from the people, for the people and by the people. The power emanates from the voters and that power should be used for the greater good of the people.
However, there are some people who prefer someone to lord over them as long as that ruler can provide them all the basic stuffs they need. They don't care if they don't have the freedom others are enjoying as long they have something to eat everyday.
As for me, I still love democracy and I hate it if someone would be curtailing my Bitcoin freedom lol.
the real meaning of democracy is the people governs themselves by their representatives in the parliament, and founding some organisms to rule in the name of the majority and keep respecting the minorities by including the freedom of speech and give everyone his personal freedom and privacy, but only where the law is above everybody.
a government who doesn't respect the choice of their people is just a dictatorship forcing people to live under the fear of being silenced forever.. and uses some propaganda to keep the image clear as if they are a democratic country.
democracy is almost a horrible lie now days.
