Editing Democracy

'''Democracy''' is an inexact concept.  ''See [[w:democracy]] for how inexact.''

[[Consumerium Services]] employ more precise ideas like:
*[[consensus democracy]]
*[[anticipatory democracy]]
*[[participatory democracy]]
*[[representative democracy]]
*[[semi-direct democracy]]
*[[direct democracy]]
*[[trolling]]
all of which serve democracy in various ways.  See also [[anti-authoritarianism in practice]] for the various ways in which majority decisions can be defied, which minorities tend to do often.  See [[faction]] for the most practical way to keep [[declaration of bias]] public and [[systemic bias]] under some control.

All '''democracy''' relies on explicit [[basis for unity]] of political leaders with [[election|the people choosing between them at regular intervals]], and some [[controll]] of the bureaucracy's biases and [[clique]] and power to make its [[groputhink]] real by oppression of alternatives.  Without this [[Wikimedia corruption|corruption]] will inevitably emerge, e.g. [[Wikimedia]], [[China]].  Since most people think that is a [[Bad Thing]] they tend to think of democracy as a [[Good Thing]].

However, democracy empowers majorities and this can be sad for minorities too.
