True democracy will always fail because you let the uneducated make decisions that forcefully impose the will of their often stupid decisions on the entire population.  What we need is a  small government where the only role of government is protecting the natural rights of all people in the state (defined in a constitution), protected by a republic, where only the educated can vote for officials responsible for protecting the rights of citizens.  Tyrants love democracy because their will can be imposed by manipulating the uneducated.

And how do you define educated? You think it's fair, uneducated people are also part of this planet and should be heard or not? And officials will never protect the rights of citizens, they will always decide for whats most favorable for them! I begin to think that goverments should run on blockchain fully democratic within a framework, which ensures a basic law and regulation.

Educated  in this context means to have an education in the subject where the decision is being made.  In regards to politics, the minimum voting age should be increased back to 21 and require the voter to own property.  Ownership of property serves two purposes, people that own property have more at stake by being governed and deserve a higher stake than someone who doesn't have property, and it acts a requirement that someone will have to learn how to acquire.

Uneducated people do not deserve a voice for subjects which they do not know anything about.  When they're given a voice all they produce is noise.
