{{Quote|
quote="Democracy is not a beloved Republic really, and never will be. But it is less hateful than other contemporary forms of government, and to that extent it deserves our support. It does start from the assumption that the individual is important, and that all types are needed to make a civilization. It does not divide its citizens into the bossers and the bossed — as an efficiency-regime tends to do. The people I admire most are those who are sensitive and want to create something or discover something, and do not see life in terms of power, and such people get more of a chance under a democracy than elsewhere."

'''Democracy''' ('''Dem''') is a non-quadrant ideology used to represent democracy without any more adjectives. Dem believes that the people residing within a state all have the right to decide rules, policies, leaders, etc. based off what most people want. Dem is also not to be confused with [[File:Republicanismpix.png]] [[Republicanism]].

===Sub-Ideologies===
====[[File:Repdemgen.png]] Representative Democracy====
'''Representative democracy''' also called [[File:Repdemgen.png]] '''Republican democracy''' or '''indirect democracy''' is a form of government in which the people elect representatives who administer, establish and execute all the population's interests of the population. This is by far the most common variant, with almost all established democracies currently using it.
 
====[[File:Semidirect.png]] Semi-Direct Democracy [[File:SemiDirectDemocracy.png]]====
'''Semi-direct democracy''' (also called a '''Participatory Democracy''') is a variant of democracy that combines direct and representative democracy. In this system, the rulers are elected by the people, but the citizens maintain sovereignty through, for example: referendum, public consultation, popular initiative, and revocation of the mandate. It is currently practiced in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and at the local level in most of the United States.
 
====[[File:Directdem.png]] Direct Democracy====
'''Direct Democracy''' is a variant where the population is given full control over policy -making rather thenthan having to elect legislators like in a Representative Democracy. Historically practiced in Ancient Greece in the city of [[File:Athdem.png]] [[Athenian Democracy|Athens]], [[File:Jack.png]] [[Jacobinism|Revolutionary France]] and the [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|Paris Commune]], it is nowadays practiced in the autonomous region of [[File:Rojava.png]] [[Democratic Confederalism|Rojava]] and in [[File:Zapa.png]] [[Neozapatismo|Chiapas]].
====Moderate Pluralism====
 
Moderate pluralism is a political science term that refers to a multiparty system in which ideological differences between parties are small. It is also known as a limited multiparty system or a moderate multiparty system. It was proposed by political scientist Giovanni Sartori. This system was proposed to avoid gridlock found in multiparty systems and to avoid polarization and remove disputes over the system they work in.
====[[File:Liberal Democracy.png]] Liberal Democracy====
<blockquote>''See: [[File:Lib.png]] [[Liberalism]]''</blockquote>
Line 103 ⟶ 116:
====[[File:DefDem.png]] Defensive Democracy====
 
'''Defensive democracy''' is a term referring to the collection of laws, delegated legislation, and court rulings whichthat limit certain rights and freedoms in a democratic society in order to protect the existence of the state, its democratic character, institutions, and human rights. The term describes a major conflict that may emerge in a democratic country between compliance with democratic values, particularly freedom of association and the right to be elected, and between preventing anti-democratic parties, groups, and persons from abusing these principles.
 
In certain democratic states, there are additional special distinctions, supported by a notable section of the population, which justify the use of defensive democracy. However, the question of in what situations the use of defensive democracy is justified without this being considered excessive repression of civil rights is disputed. To some extent, this can be argued to be a form of [[File:IllibDem.png]] [[Illiberal Democracy]].
 
==== [[File:NonRegTito.png]] Economic Democracy====
Line 130 ⟶ 143:
 
====[[File:Demtrans.png]] Democratic Transhumanism [[File:Librtrans.png]]====
<blockquote>''See: [[File:Demtrans.png]] flag.svg|220x220px|thumb|{{Colorlink|#000PCBA|Democratic Transhumanism|Flag of Democratic Transhumanism}}]]''</blockquote>
[[File:Demtrans flag.svg|222px|thumb|Flag of Democratic Transhumanism]]
'''Democratic Transhumanism''', shortened to '''Demh+''', is a [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|democratic]], often [[File:Prgess.png]] [[:Category:Culturally Left|culturally progressive]], pro-technology ideology.
 
Democratic Transhumanism believes that the concept of [[File:Transh.png]] [[Transhumanism]] would fit within a [[File:Lib.png]] [[liberalism|liberal]], [[File:Socdem.png]] [[Social Democracy|social]] and/or radical democratic society, supporting equal access to human enhancement technologies in order to promote social equality and to prevent further divide between the socioeconomic classes.
