I don't like spending this much time arguing against campism but they just keep talking at me.

A picture of Gus Friv captioned "I'm cool with communism because I don't believe it has to be authoritarian; you're cool with communism because you don't mind if its authoritarian; we are not the same."

i don’t think that rich people are inherently better any respecting the rights of minorities.

I didn't say that though, so how about you go have this imaginary argument with someone else.

    an ideal democracy would be a democracy where the people have power, as opposed to one where money rules.

    The problem is “the people” in a democracy literally just amounts to “the majority”, and would thus favor the average and the interests thereof over the interests of underprivileged minorities.

    the way i read your point was 'the elites protect minorities from the mob' as a defense of the current system.

    do you have some alternative vision?
