    If you’re willing to pretend different things are the same, nothing in your life will ever go well. Goodbye tankie

      Interesting you ignored the question of how that word could have meaning if it describes all countries

      if all countries implemented direct democracy, does direct democracy lose its meaning?

        Actually, kind of, yes. Because there wouldn’t need to be a distinction drawn… just how words work.

            Lol nope. The word human exists because other lifeforms do and you need a way to differentiate. Democracy is a word that exists because other governments exist. This is hilarious.

              there are also words for governments that no loger exist. perhaps if you could stop appealing to ridicule you could see this plainly.

                You’re proving my point. You need words to describe things that aren’t obvious or differ from other similar things.

                And I wouldn’t ridicule you if you weren’t obviously dodging facts.
