Yeah I definitely agree with your point on Democracy being bad on a freedom perspective, but it’s probably the best that we’ve got.

The problem comes down to human nature.

We are a social animal that depends on a hierarchy, so we need some sort of binding agreement and structure to function, which ends up being the state. We have to have a state and we as a species like having someone else meeting needs for us, which leads to some form of government.

The ability of everyone to vote gives the illusion of freedom, but everyone also has different conflicting needs and wants. I would prefer people have a say, but the system is obviously easy to abuse. If someone promises to give something, the people who want that thing will vote for them because it is easier than obtaining that thing themselves.

Figuring out how to fix the flaws with Democracy is probably impossible, but I cannot think of a better system than a Democratic Republic
