Theories of Democracy
Overview
Democracy is an extremely saturated word. Different people meant different things. Democracy in ancient Athens was completely different than today yet we use the same word to refer to both these things. Conservatives, leftists, liberals, anarchists, communists; they all talk about democracy yet they usually mean different things. Join us in a deep yet short dive into all the different theories of democracy and how each one compares to the rest.
