democracy is the wrong word. in essence, democracy is replacing the dictator with the vote, and then replacing the vote with a delegate. then with all that distance from the will of the people the role tends to be filled by whoever is most skilled at figuring out what the majority of people will wish for and pretending to represent that.

hans herman hoppe calls it the "private law society" and really it's not new either, the old english "equity" legal system represented it - the idea of all people having equality at law and the equal right to an estate, not a gift but what they rightfully worked and traded to acquire without commiting a crime.

democracy means 'people power' and really just boils down to a mob.

it can only work if there is no representation, as in, every decision made by the government must be put to a vote to everyone.

this raises the cognitive burden too high, the more people in the group, after it exceeds the dunbar number.

so, it's not democracy, it's private society where all agree to respect each other's property rights. the corrolary of that is all have to be armed and defend themselves as well. in the realm of network communications, that means that each user is much more hands on about curating their own feed.

i'm sure there is an intuitive terminology for it but it's going to be within the context of people's understanding of membership in a family and neighbourhood, nothing bigger than that or the abstraction opens a security hole.
