Yes, I think a government accountable to the people is much better than dictatorship. It is unrealistic for the average person to participate in the day-to-day governance of their town or city or much less country. So representative democracy is the best way to do this, in my book. I understand that centralized authoritarianism or fascism can be more efficient in many areas but I reject that and think we need to keep fighting for civil liberties. That said, modern democracy is broken in many ways. It needs A LOT of reform to get it to the point where I'd be very proud of it.
