@rotenotes and the reverse holds true.
in democracy a majority violently forces individuals to behave a certain way.
@amerika @rotenotes i really don't care who forces whom to do things just because they can.
marx was talking absolute rubbish though, and it's hard to even give him the benefit of doubt. back then the industrialization did radically improve life for the poor. it had other shit consequences, none of which are solved by socialism. which the original post does suggest, albeit veiled as democracy.

Even more, democracy gives minorities power over the majority which is then abused.
