Democracy? We don’t directly vote to choose our own way. We elect “representatives”.

Education is an alternative to democracy?

Either you don’t get it or you’re being intentionally obtuse.
Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.
As such, democracy is doomed and societies that are spiraling will continue to spiral until whatever else forms forms?.

Dangerous people are identified as a young age and are placed in a virtual reality where they can do no harm and live out their narcissists and we don’t have to deal with them.
