@Goldenhawk583 OK, maybe I have used the wrong term. But since democracy has no "above", it's 300 or 80 million people trying to find common rules in a way, there is anarchy=democracy, by your means. What people describe as "above" is the feeling of having no influence, in huge societies with millions of people. They cannot "feel" if they are majority or minority. We don't have sensors for that. Maybe my message was more like, any rule means restricting freedom. Even "Don't eat poison" is restricting freedom.

Laws are made to organize how people live together. My freedom is result of restricting somebody elses freedom, and vice versa.freedom is finding a balance. While maximal freedom means anarchy. German culture is very much based on " i"m willing to restrict myself for the sake of the other ". This works as long, as the other behaves the same. Mutuality is a powerful concept.

@Goldenhawk583 But there is no top-down in a democracy. Giving one of 100million a voice means, he has literally nothing to say, he cannot do anything. Or he can say something and others ignore it. When he finds 50million followers, then it will happen whatever he wants. Not before. It's a common extrem right wing topic, to talk about something like "The Elite" who governs top-down. But that's just normal people picked from 100million as spokesmen. Since 100million cannot discuss or debate with each other, they elect spokesmen (representatives). It's a technical necessity.
