Yep, they still don't know what direct democracies are. Otherwise prisons & deathcamps wouldn't exist.
Direct democracy in total just doesn't work in larger countries though. It always leads to autocracy. Not that the system we have now doesn't either, our countries got ratfucked by monied interests over half a century back and all major parties are captured by the oligarchy, and or manipulated into putting forth weak candidates that can't win, looking at you France Unbowed, (coolest name for a political party notwithstanding.)
