1. democracy -- (the political orientation of those who favor government by the people or by their elected representatives)
2. democracy, republic, commonwealth -- (a political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them)
3. majority rule, democracy -- (the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group)
The second definition is the most realistic, USA democracy is aligned with that meaning, while it's a virtual stimulation of a ignorant poppulation of super-consumers. the rest of world is a trash worth punishement, every voice that rises is a terrorsit action, some bilions of dollars from the pentagon are just enough to accomplish some raids in some countries in the name of uncle sam, what's next ?
