late stage democracy

a liberal democracy in which the politicians and bureaucrats behave like chimpanzees on LSD. they throw shit at their peers, and eat food that they know they have stolen but will receive no consequences due to them being "StAtE OfFiCiAlS".

the congress of this democracy seemingly cannot function without pork barrel politics. the congress doubles as a retirement home and mental asylum, or sometimes a massive sex offender registry.

this democracy will last only until a war breaks out, and will go back to a normal democratic system but fade slowly into late stage democracy once more.

common late stage democracies include but aren't limited to; the united states, the united kingdom, canada, and hungary.

Democracy

Democracy hasn't retreated or gone anywhere, but it hasn't been revived in a long time either. Long before the mask and vaccine mandates and restrictions there was the post 9/11 airport security people had tolerated because they decided they valued safety over personal freedom and rights. Kids born after the year 2000 might not even have much sense of democracy or personal freedom, since they've only known the airport security and travel bans since 9/11 and the pandemic, respectively. These folks are used to accepting what they see and hear in the news perhaps, and doing what they are told by authorities rather than questioning whether the authorities know what they are talking about.
Kids born after 2000, if they have any sense of democracy at all, must think it isn't something they might have to wake up and fight/bleed to keep.

Social Democracy

ˈsō-shəl ˌdeməˈkrasē

A political system that balances capitalism with a strong commitment to social justice and welfare. It aims to regulate the market economy to prevent exploitation, reduce inequality, and guarantee fundamental rights like universal healthcare, education, and workers' protections. It believes democracy isn't just about voting but also about ensuring everyone has the real means to participate in society. Social Democracy tries to create a fairer society without dismantling capitalism entirely, promoting gradual reform over revolution.

You're a threat to everyone tho.
Journalist: Are you a Communist?

Journalist: Soo, a capitalist?

Olof Palme: Dumbass, I am apart of Social Democracy, and I am in a Social Democratic party.

liquid democracy

Civil Democracy

A type of government in which the people vote on laws directly as opposed to a representative democracy where representatives vote for them.
A representative democracy isn't a true democracy. A true democracy would be a civil democracy.
