      No? Imo democracy essentially boils down to majority rule. The majority often oppressed the minority

        While that could technically be a possibility under democracy. Don’t you find it? Extremely ironic that no democracy in the world could currently be described that way? That they’ve all been turned on their head with the minority ruling over the majority?

        And basically when it comes down to it they are incompatible or different. Because under authoritarianism you don’t have any say, regardless of whether you’re in the minority or the majority.
