Democracy

"This page is about the ideology that advocates for a political system based on voting. For the ideology of the US Democratic Party see Syncretic Liberalism,  Third Way or  Social Liberalism."

Democracy (Dem) is a non-quadrant ball used to represent democracy without any more adjectives. Dem believes that the people residing within a state all have the right to decide rules, policies, leaders, etc. based off what most people want. Dem is also not to be confused with Republicanism.

[[File:Dem.png]] Representative Democracy
Representative democracy or indirect democracy is a form of government in which the people elect representatives who administer, establish and execute all the interests of the population. This is by far the most common variant, with almost all established democracies currently using it.

[[File:Semidirect.png]] Semi-Direct Democracy
Semi-direct democracy is a variant of democracy that combines direct and representative democracy. In this system, the rulers are elected by the people, but the citizens maintain sovereignty through, for example: referendum, public consultation, popular initiative and revocation of the mandate. It is currently practiced in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and at the local level in most of the United States.

[[File:Directdem.png]] Direct Democracy
Direct democracy is a variant where the population is given full control over policy making rather then having to elect legislators like in a Representative Democracy. Historically practiced in Ancient Greece in the city of Athens,  Revolutionary France and the  Paris Commune, it is nowadays practiced in the autonomous region of  Rojava and in  Chiapas.

[[File:DefDem.png]] Defensive Democracy
Defensive democracy is a term referring to the collection of laws, delegated legislation, and court rulings which limit certain rights and freedoms in a democratic society in order to protect the existence of the state, its democratic character, institutions and human rights. The term describes a major conflict that may emerge in a democratic country between compliance with democratic values, particularly freedom of association and the right to be elected, and between preventing anti-democratic parties, groups and persons from abusing these principles.

In certain democratic states there are additional special distinctions, supported by a notable section of the population, which justify the use of defensive democracy. However, the question of in what situations the use of defensive democracy is justified without this being considered excessive repression of civil rights is disputed. To some extent this can be argued to be a form of Authoritarian Democracy.

Demobureaucracy
Demobureaucracy is a term referring to the hypothetical system where the right to be elected by the general public extends at least throughout the seniormost offices in public administration. The term may describe various processes whereby the administrative offices are generally elected from a pool of self or chief-executive-selected, but particularly chief-executive-selected candidates. To some extent, this can be argued to be what Woodrow Wilson was trying to talk about in this passage of an article he wrote:

[[File:DemocraticGlobalization.png]] Democratic Globalization
Democratic Globalization is social movement which is aimed for the creation of a institutional system of global democracy. This social movement stems from the international theory of cosmopolitanism. The stated purpose of democratic globalization by proponents is to make people around the world more united. This form of globalization differs from economic globalization, as some proponents of the anti-globalist movement do not necessarily disagree with these positions.

Personality
In all contexts in which there's a debate, Dem will always suggest it to settle out with a vote. Sometimes in a comedic context, Dem might support a radical decision simply because there was a vote on it.
