How is democracy related to ownership?

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

A democracy is a state in which the government is owned and controlled by the people.

No wtf. Democracy is state that holds elections. Wtf is "owned and controlled by the people"? How are people supposed to control the government? The government is controlled by govt officials. Common people don't control shit. How can a government be owned by people? Is government even a property that can be owned? That doesn't make any sense.

So not Norway, or any Western capitalist pseudo democracy.
