Democracy is a concept, not a form of government. It is government by the people, of the people, and for the people. It is a beautiful concept and one we should all aspire to.

Unfortunately, the term democracy has been captured by bad actors (politicians) in recent years and re-conceived as its opposite. Democracy has been reinterpreted as meaning American Imperialism, capitalism, or a free market economy.

Democracy may exist in small communities or small states, but not in large Nation-States we see today. It seems the larger the state, the less democracy it has.
