Sure "democracy"....a way for the "majority" to decide ha?!
Yet we live in a world where the ones with a lot of financial power always decide. They own the messengers, social platforms, streaming platforms, newspapers, TV stations, they give money to politicians, bribe, abuse, and so forth....
It may be hard to accept, but there is no democracy. And never was. No one voted to go to war in Ukraine, in Gaza, in Afghanistan. No one voted for the use of fossil fuels instead of renewable energies. No one votes for the prices of medicine, if we should do space missions, build a park, or basically anything else.
People vote to elect a handful of tribe leaders, after a fierce battle of influence over these voters, to then have these leaders do as they please once they are elected. And some of these leaders can't even do shit since the rich control the world anyway.
And now that we talk about democracy, in principle it is a bad idea for most decisions that need to be taken by the experts in the field. Of course we should not have a vote about how to deal with cancer screenings, surgeries, building bridges, or most of these things.
Instead of floating these fantasy ideas around we should keep it simple and reasonable: all people need access to a basic life without any strings attached. Then they can have some autonomy and get involved into all sorts of things. Become engineers, doctors, write for Wikipedia, do open source software, volunteer and so forth. Free people from this primitive trade society, and let them grow. Like creating a fertile soil to be able to grow flowers.
That's what we need. Therefore basic and good services, regardless of the party or leaders. Good healthcare, housing for all, access to education and food, access to free transport, and our basic needs. The rest will emerge out of this good environment.

That's quite a rushed and radical view.
I support a society in which every single human individual is being taken care of without any strings attached. So no: you get housing, food, whatever you need, ONLY if you do this or that. That's what I support and talk about since 2011 via tromsite.com/
Regardless if I know or not how this can be achieve

Regardless if I know or not how this can be achieved, I think it is a humane way of organizing our society.
We have more houses, more food, stuff, and resources than anyone needs. We could create a paradise on this planet if it weren't for this trade-based society (call it capitalism if you want) which restricts the access to these resources, and makes people into hoarders, competitive, and overall terrible beings.
As for how do you sound, you sound angry to me "You're sounding like a fucking fascist right now". Not a good way to start a conversation.
