       I feel like a lot of people have a “noble savage” view of democracy tbh.

       The idea that if democracy wasn't bourgeois, liberal, colonized, settler, white, etc, etc, it would be good is kinda noble-savage coded. That there exists a pure democracy under the snow of capitalism is a myth. I read once in an essay about repression against anti-genocide protesters for Gaza: “We live in a class dictatorship thinly disguised as a democracy.” But democracy has always been class dictatorship. There was never a democracy that wasn't. Same with the noble-savage trope.

       @abolisyonista it's pretty typical liberal grift. "democracy would be good if it wasn't all the things democracy is.""the system would work so well if there wasn't this whole system in the way of making it magically work in ways that it doesn't and can't."
