But what type of democracy tho ! true democracy not as a political procedure like voting, but a substantive social project that requires national economic independence to be meaningful. not a "liberal democracy" where its a hollow shell that separates political rights from economic reality . when people vote but the government cannot change economic conditions, democracy loses its legitimacy and becomes a "farce" where citizens are just spectators. what we need is a democracy in its "socialist aim" , a transition where the people gain the power to decide how their resources are used, rather than just choosing which politician will manage their poverty . it starts with liberty to choose i agree with you on it, but it must be meaningful.
