      I would rather have a government that actually did what people wanted, and having a subset of the population in control over capital that dictates other citizens lives is antithetical to collective democratic decision-making. Bourgeois democracy is only a democracy for people with money.

      It is very easy to steer a population regarding decisions that are way over their head and might even be contrary to their naive interests (ie. collect a tax on concrete to subsidize CO2 neutral building). Direct democracy is every fascist’s dream.
