Democracy is a primitive state of mind, or rather mindlessness, giving "power to the populace" from greek. By definition if there was a developed alien species on Mars, democracy would brand it as non-democratic automatically and wage a full-scale war against it till total extinction of one of the unlucky sides.

Get the DemocracY mug.A Marxist-Leninist concept where state power is wielded directly by the working class (the proletariat), typically through a revolutionary vanguard party, to suppress the former ruling class (the bourgeoisie) and transition society toward communism. This isn't "democracy" in the liberal, multi-party sense; it's a class dictatorship framed as democracy for the vast majority. It often manifests as a one-party state where the party claims to be the sole legitimate representative of the workers' will. Critics see it as the ideological fig leaf for totalitarianism, while proponents argue it's the only true democracy because it excludes the exploitative class from power.
Example: The early Soviet Union under Lenin was the classic attempt at a Democracy of the Proletariat. Workers' councils (soviets) existed, but ultimate authority rested with the Bolshevik Party, which claimed to act in the workers' name while systematically dismantling rival parties, independent unions, and dissent, arguing this was necessary to prevent a bourgeois counter-revolution.
