in the spectrum of non-democratic to democratic, direct democracy is by definition closer to the right end (democracy) compared to representative democracy
that was my argument
who cares if its closer to anything
and by right i mean "not left" and not "correct"
and by closer it is implied that direct democracy is a truer/purer (without any intention of assigning quality to this) form of democracy
wether that is good or bad is a completely different discussion
yeah i was discussing wether its good ro not
and the reason why this had to be specified is because if you are against direct democracy, you are virtually against democratic values themselves, or rather, democratic values in their whole picture, and would rather "cherry-pick them" to something better resembling the representative democracies you are more accustomed to. To have a preference for the latter over the former is by principle opposing "more democracy" or just "democracy".
And that is why I made the sarcastic remark that you, as an eurocrat, being against democracy, doesn't surprise me
There is no "pure" form of democracy, there are 5 types of it
1) Where everyone is equal, regardless of wealth
2) The one where individuals can hold public office but must meet certain requirements
3) The one where only the nobles can hold public office
4) The one where literally anyone can hold public office but the law is sovereign
5) The one where also literally anyone can hold public office and the public is sovereign, not the law (makes way for populist leaders to influence the public and take whatever decision they want without repercussions)
Direct democracy fits more into the 5th type
Which is the shittiest form of democracy
>context doesn't matter

all kinds of government should reflect the technological level, the education, the culture, and various other factors
well not reflect but
those things should play a role
Yes but that doesn't change the types of democracy that exist
Only acceptable government is the one where individuals are protected from the threats within the nation and outside the nation and does nothing else, don't @ me
ah, a fellow minarchist
I be dabbin on dem statists
>these are all the ways that an abstract subject can manifest itself. your type fits into my description of the the worst manifestation of the subject
