     @zatnosk @abreakinglass @ayachan depends on your definition of "democracy", see David Graeber's book 'The Democracy Project'

     @zatnosk @abreakinglass @ayachan but many people also use "democracy" as shorthand for everyone having a say in decisions that affect them.

     @zatnosk @abreakinglass @ayachan even though they did actually have majority-rules elections within their Community parties (as China does)
