Comment on We should insulate Wolfballs against Communism
iamtanmay@wolfballs.com 2 years agoYes, the majority dictates the terms in a democracy, and this can be a problem when a central govt makes decisions for people that are far away from them.
For eg rich EU bureaucrats deciding in Brussels what is good for a small village in the UK. Or a British King deciding what is good for rural Americans. Or Moscow deciding what is good for a small village in Lithuania.
In all 3 cases, the people revolted and fought to have the rights in local govts.
So, democracy has big problems, but a lot can be resolved by not centralizing power in a faraway govt that doesn't understand the local community.

The more you restrict what an election winner can do, the less democracy you have.
