[quote=Magic Magnum]Your main issue there is that it restricts it to men voting.[/quote] That's why I followed it with the 'OPEN TO EVERYONE' [quote=Magic Magnum]Yes this can be fixed by letting women vote, but then it's honestly not much different from normal democracy.[/quote] It's a much more simplified version where people vote directly on issues that pertain to them as oppressed to a senate or system fro representatives. [quote=Magic Magnum]And I doubt the argument here is "A system where women can't vote is better".So I'm you mean some sort of system to prioritize more eligible voters.[/quote] See: 'Athenian Democracy (([b]OPEN TO EVERYONE[/b]), with some bits thrown in from Communist Marxism, Anarchism and Socialism)' [quote=Magic Magnum]Which might seem nice on paper.[/quote] Doesn't it all? [quote=Magic Magnum]But in practice, it's far too open to abuse.[/quote] Sure, if you can manipulate LITERALLY EVERY MEMBER OF A CITY-STATE. [quote=Magic Magnum]Essentially turning a democracy into a "Only those who agree with me can vote" sort of system.[/quote] But that's not how a classical Athenian Democracy would work at all. It'd be what people [i]think[/i] America is today. Giving people the full power to vote on anything and everything relating to them, removing the gridlock of the senate and the HoR, and granting the people more power. In fact, today's 'Democratic government' is more of a '"Only those who agree with me can vote" sort of system. [quote=Magic Magnum]As much as I admit a big flaw of democracy is that anyone can vote,[/quote] Wait, that everyone can vote isn't a flaw, it's like the best part about democracy. [quote=Magic Magnum]even if they care nothing at all for the world around them I do realize implementing a system to address it is very risky.[/quote] America isn't a Democracy, it's a Republic with Oligarchial and some Democratic themes and origins.
