You could call that democratic, but the people have much less of a real choice. So it's useless democracy. Really there is no liberty without order.

Maybe there is no survival without order and no liberty without survival but in the mean time...

No... Humanity survives in temporary chaos. It's just not pleasent or a world that anyone desires. There will be order, just a matter of who establishes it. Then you get "democracies" like China and Russia.

You're not making sense. China and Russia are democracies, just not "democracies" i.e. democratic republics or whatever specific form of democracy you're saying you want

There's no one person in Russia or China who can take the rest of the country in a fight, or anything like that
