MODERATORS
Democracy is mob rule (and therefore authoritarian) where the mob is organized by vote. Democracy is just an relatively egalitarian way to create a mob.
Better to be ruled by the majority consent than minority fiat. Neither is perfect. But the latter is far far worse.
This is true, the world is not black and white.

i think this is true for a direct but centralised democracy.
in parliamentary democracies it's different, with rulers being chosen through popularity contests. the majority of the people usually doesnt have actual controll over individual political decisions.
