economic democracy

A socioeconomic philosophy that seeks to equalize decision-making power by giving ownership of businesses to the workers that run them. Allegedly, this will even out the distribution of wealth by shifting power from the minority (corporations) and put it in the hands of the majority (the people). Society will then democratically be able to choose the level of resources allocated to businesses.

Here is a link to an informative article explaining economic democracy in more depth, check it out!

Post-Ironic Democracy

When you run for office in a Democratic system, lose the vote, declare yourself the winner anyway and accuse everyone else of being the ones in denial.

"Before the election was called, I had a pretty good feeling about it, so I preemptively declare victory and anointed myself an Anarcho-Monarch of Ottowa. Then to my shock and also not shock at all, the elites appointed their own puppet-leader instead, Zed Shabibe. Or something, I dunno, I wasn't paying attention. I'm calling upon my supporters to not recognize the legitimacy of these so-called 'elected officials' unless it's ever me."

Democracy

Any of a number of forms of government which at their core have some degree of decision-making performed by a system of voting. Exactly who can vote (franchisement) often varies quite widely, and has historically in many countries been divided along lines of age, gender, religion, economic status, class, race, ethnic group, language, nationality, and citizenship. The degree of participation can also vary. A direct democracy, for example, would in principle have all decisions made by popular vote. Most democratic nations use some form of representative democracy, whereby voters designate certain people or groups to make decisions for them.

Though both the United States and the United Kingdom have democratic elements, their political systems are quite different.

democracy

1) When kleptocrats brainwash the dumbest 51% of a population into believing that they're making their own choices.

2) When the United States brainwashes or pays a violent mob(s) in another country to topple a democratically elected government and murder everyone who could be an obstacle to US policy.

3) Fascism.

4) When 3 or more scientists enter a room and force all of the religious people to leave so they can have a serious discussion.

Nazi Germany was a democracy.
CIA fiend: Elon Musk needs lithium. It is time to bring democracy to Bolivia.
CIA tool: I love democracy and freedom. Democracy is the most valuable thing in the world and democracy is the only principal of moral value. Democracy is always moral and people cannot have moral or ethical principals without democracy.
Confused Scientist: We can use the democratic process to halt climate change.
