I don't think there are any good forms of government so it's largely a waste of time to argue semantics. My issue is how people use the word Democracy as if it's a panacea, when the word itself literally refers to a failed system of "self" rule. By the way, the "consent of the governed" and the formation of our republican form of government itself is founded on majority rule, this is the political theory of Jefferson and Madison, where they argue the seat of sovereignty and authority originates. In my opinion what we call government is no less than limited organized crime, and that's what it's always been no matter the form.
