I don’t want to restrict anyone’s freedom of expression, but I want there to be some basic organization such that I can be an informed consumer

If anyone is allowed too much power, like billionaires, or any anti-democratic institution likefor-profit corporations get too big, you do not have a democracy-federated or not. It’s like trying to judge the flavor of a sandwich after dipping it in human shit-it mightve been a good or bad sandwich before, but no sandwich is good like this.
As the technologies of control get more sophisticated, you’ll find more and more that any attempt to have democracy just means more resources are turned to those technologies, more of society and its mechanisms seem convoluted and inscrutable.
