'''Democracy''' ('''Dem''') is a non-quadrant ball 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]].

=== [[File:Dem.png]] Representative Democracy===
===[[File:Dem.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 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]]===
===[[File:Semidirect.png]] Semi-Direct Democracy [[File:SemiDirectDemocracy.png]]===
'''Semi-direct 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===
===[[File:Directdem.png]] Direct Democracy===
'''Direct democracy''' is a variant where the population is given full control over policy making rather then 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]].

===[[File:DefDem.png]] Defensive Democracy ===
===[[File:DefDem.png]] Defensive Democracy===


'''Defensive democracy''' is a term referring to the collection of laws, delegated legislation, and court rulings which 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.

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: Authdem.png]] [[Authoritarian Democracy]].

=== Economic Democracy===
===Economic Democracy===
'''Economic democracy''' (sometimes called a '''Democratic Economy''') is a socioeconomic philosophy that proposes to shift ownership and decision-making power from corporate shareholders and corporate managers (such as a board of directors) to a larger group of public stakeholders that includes workers, consumers, suppliers, communities and the broader public.

=== [[File:Antiparty.png]] Non-Partisan Democracy ===
===[[File:Antiparty.png]] Non-Partisan Democracy===
'''Nonpartisan democracy''', also known as a '''No-Party Democracy''', is a system of representative government or organization such that universal and periodic elections take place without reference to political parties. Sometimes electioneering and even speaking about candidates may be discouraged, so as not to prejudice others' decisions or create a contentious atmosphere.

=== [[File:DemOffice.png]] Demobureaucracy ===
===[[File:DemOffice.png]] Demobureaucracy===
'''Demobureaucracy''' is a term referring to the hypothetical system where the right to be elected by the general public extends at least throughout the seniormost offices in public administration. The term may describe various processes whereby the administrative offices are generally elected from a pool of self or chief-executive-selected, but particularly chief-executive-selected candidates. To some extent, this can be argued to be what Woodrow Wilson was trying to talk about in this passage of an article he wrote:

=== [[File:DemocraticGlobalization.png]] Democratic Globalization ===
===[[File:DemocraticGlobalization.png]] Democratic Globalization===
'''Democratic Globalization''' is social movement which is aimed for the creation of a institutional system of global democracy. This social movement stems from the international theory of [[File:Cosmo.png]] [[Cosmopolitanism|cosmopolitanism]]. The stated purpose of democratic globalization by proponents is to make people around the world more united. This form of globalization differs from economic globalization, as some proponents of the anti-globalist movement do not necessarily disagree with these positions.

=== [[File:DelibDem.png]] Deliberative Democracy ===
===[[File:DelibDem.png]] Deliberative Democracy===
Deliberative democracy is a form of democracy in which deliberation is considered central to  good legislation. It adopts elements of both consensus decision-making and majority rule. Deliberative democracy differs from traditional democratic theory in that authentic deliberation, not mere voting, is the primary source of legitimacy for the law. Deliberative democracy is closely related to consultative democracy, in which public consultation with citizens is central to democratic processes.

=== [[File:DemCentral.png]] Democratic Centralism ===
===[[File:DemCentral.png]] Democratic Centralism===
'''Democratic Centralism''' is a practice in which political decisions reached by voting processes are binding upon all members of the political party. It is mainly associated with [[File:Lenin.png]] [[Leninism]], wherein the party's political vanguard of professional revolutionaries practized democratic centralism to elect leaders and officers, determine policy through free discussion, and decisively realize it through united action. Democratic centralism has also been practiced by social democratic and democratic socialist parties as well.

James Hughes has referred to "[[file:Techprog.png]] techno-progressivism" as another name for Democratic Transhumanism, but it can also refer to the support of both technological and social reform in general.

This page is about an important IRL ideology
"This knowledge is essential to political science!" - Scientocracy
This page is about an ideology that not only exists in the real world, but is also of reasonable importance. Please do not make major edits to this page without citing sources, so that it may stay accurate.

For the ideology of the US Democratic Party see Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Big Tent Liberalism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Third Way or Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Social Liberalism.

Democracy (Dem) is a non-quadrant ball 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 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Republicanism.

Variants

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Representative Democracy

Representative democracy also called Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Republican democracy or indirect democracy is a form of government in which the people elect representatives who administer, establish and execute all the interests of the population. This is by far the most common variant, with almost all established democracies currently using it.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Semi-Direct Democracy Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Semi-direct 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.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Direct Democracy

Direct democracy is a variant where the population is given full control over policy making rather then having to elect legislators like in a Representative Democracy. Historically practiced in Ancient Greece in the city of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Athens, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Revolutionary France and the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Paris Commune, it is nowadays practiced in the autonomous region of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Rojava and in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Chiapas.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Defensive Democracy

Defensive democracy is a term referring to the collection of laws, delegated legislation, and court rulings which 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 Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Authoritarian Democracy.

Economic Democracy

Economic democracy (sometimes called a Democratic Economy) is a socioeconomic philosophy that proposes to shift ownership and decision-making power from corporate shareholders and corporate managers (such as a board of directors) to a larger group of public stakeholders that includes workers, consumers, suppliers, communities and the broader public.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Non-Partisan Democracy

Nonpartisan democracy, also known as a No-Party Democracy, is a system of representative government or organization such that universal and periodic elections take place without reference to political parties. Sometimes electioneering and even speaking about candidates may be discouraged, so as not to prejudice others' decisions or create a contentious atmosphere.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Demobureaucracy

Demobureaucracy is a term referring to the hypothetical system where the right to be elected by the general public extends at least throughout the seniormost offices in public administration. The term may describe various processes whereby the administrative offices are generally elected from a pool of self or chief-executive-selected, but particularly chief-executive-selected candidates. To some extent, this can be argued to be what Woodrow Wilson was trying to talk about in this passage of an article he wrote:

But to fear the creation of a domineering, illiberal officialism as a result of the studies I am here proposing is to miss altogether the principle upon which I wish most to insist. That principle is, that administration in the United States must be at all points sensitive to public opinion. A body of thoroughly trained officials serving during good behavior we must have in any case: that is a plain business necessity. But the apprehension that such a body will be anything un-American clears away the moment it is asked. What is to constitute good behavior? For that question obviously carries its own answer on its face. Steady, hearty allegiance to the policy of the government they serve will constitute good behavior. That policy will have no taint of officialism about it. It will not be the creation of permanent officials, but of statesmen whose responsibility to public opinion will be direct and inevitable. Bureaucracy can exist only where the whole service of the state is removed from the common political life of the people, its chiefs as well as its rank and file. Its motives, its objects, its policy, its standards, must be bureaucratic. It would be difficult to point out any examples of impudent exclusiveness and arbitrariness on the part of officials doing service under a chief of department who really served the people, as all our chiefs of departments must be made to do. It would be easy, on the other hand, to adduce other instances like that of the influence of Stein in Prussia, where the leadership of one statesman imbued with true public spirit transformed arrogant and perfunctory bureaux into public-spirited instruments of just government.


Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Democratic Globalization

Democratic Globalization is social movement which is aimed for the creation of a institutional system of global democracy. This social movement stems from the international theory of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination cosmopolitanism. The stated purpose of democratic globalization by proponents is to make people around the world more united. This form of globalization differs from economic globalization, as some proponents of the anti-globalist movement do not necessarily disagree with these positions.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Deliberative Democracy

Deliberative democracy is a form of democracy in which deliberation is considered central to good legislation. It adopts elements of both consensus decision-making and majority rule. Deliberative democracy differs from traditional democratic theory in that authentic deliberation, not mere voting, is the primary source of legitimacy for the law. Deliberative democracy is closely related to consultative democracy, in which public consultation with citizens is central to democratic processes.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Democratic Centralism

Democratic Centralism is a practice in which political decisions reached by voting processes are binding upon all members of the political party. It is mainly associated with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Leninism, wherein the party's political vanguard of professional revolutionaries practized democratic centralism to elect leaders and officers, determine policy through free discussion, and decisively realize it through united action. Democratic centralism has also been practiced by social democratic and democratic socialist parties as well.

Flag of Democratic Transhumanism

Democratic Transhumanism, shortened to Demh+, is a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination democratic, often Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination culturally progressive, pro-technology ideology.

Democratic Transhumanism believes that the concept of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Transhumanism would fit within a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination liberal, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination 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.

James Hughes has referred to "Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination techno-progressivism" as another name for Democratic Transhumanism, but it can also refer to the support of both technological and social reform in general.

Personality

In all contexts in which there's a debate, Dem will always suggest it to settle out with a vote. Sometimes in a comedic context, Dem might support a radical decision simply because there was a vote on it.
