<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Democracy&#039;&#039;&#039; is an inexact concept. &#039;&#039;See [[w:democracy]] for how inexact.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> [[Consumerium Services]] employ more precise ideas like:<br /> *[[consensus democracy]]<br /> *[[anticipatory democracy]]<br /> *[[participatory democracy]]<br /> *[[representative democracy]]<br /> *[[semi-direct democracy]]<br /> *[[direct democracy]]<br /> *[[trolling]]<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> All &#039;&#039;&#039;democracy&#039;&#039;&#039; 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&#039;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]].<br /> <br /> However, democracy empowers majorities and this can be sad for minorities too.</div>
