to sum it up, a society is not democratic until the workers themselves control the means of production through democracy. Anything other than that is false democracy.
Let me give an example. Steem.
Where is the democracy in steem? It could take tens of thousands of professors new to the platform to overturn the vote of one random conspiracy theorist who got here early and is downvoting useful science
how democratic is that?
I did not downvote by the way. I still disagree.
i was not talking about you, just an example from this platform that is repeated daily.
How can you disagree?
What makes democracy apply to anything other than people themselves?
People can control goverment and trough it state and trough state capital. Modern democracy is not truly bringing what it promises, but I do believe that implication of ''counter-votes'' and basic income it can be fixed.
What do you mean by this? If people do not directly control it through democracy it is not democratic.
counter votes? That sounds like a process within democracy, not a system to make something democratic.
Basic income won't give the workers much more control over the means of production (and I've made arguments that it will give less). That has nothing to do with democracy either.
alright I got an idea.
Define democracy
