the most useful distinction we don't make is between pandemocracy (gov't by all people) and various forms of endemocracy (gov't by a subset of the people). virtually every "democracy" in the world is an endemocracy of some kind. whereas pandemocratic systems run on approval/consensus, endemocratic systems run on favoritism and are much easier to exploit by brainwashing a large enough number of people to put "you" ahead of everyone else no matter how much "you" suck.
