I feel like denying the existence of any amount of democracy everywhere on earth is exactly the mindset that empowers fascists and communist dictators.

It feels good to be able to simplify everything down, but concentration of wealth in market economies is a complicated issue that requires complicated solutions that the majority has been busy crafting and implementing for thousands of years as we progressed from the time of god kings to now. We have real democracies. We have means of the many peacefully controlling the few. We just need more people to participate in that system.
