I think this point of view is propaganda or at least is not fully and precisely explained. The term Democracy is too often used in a simplistic way.

I explain myself: There is not only one kind of democracy but a lot. (You can either vote for everything, in other countries you can choose somebody that will make the decisions, some countries do this last one but they can create a vote to change what they don’t want, etc.etc.). So my question is which one do you refer to? Which country? Do you already experienced full real direct democratic society, in other words, did you have the power to change everything just by collecting votes?
