What relevance does it have if it works or not? This is the actual meaning of democracy, from ancient Greek? You can tell them they got it wrong if you want but I hardly think they care.
The actual meaning of democracy is the rule of the majority. Calling something a democracy when it does not faithfully implement the concept is meaningless. What part of that are you having trouble understanding?
In that case you could say that North Korea is a democracy since almost 100% of the voters vote for Kim Jong-Un. I’m sure that you agree that that is rubbish.
Anyway, this obviously proves that the meaning of democracy is debated and not true for all, making the first comment true.^^
Sure, I can explain the meaning of democracy for you again. :) It’s when the people have a say in either who will represent them or direct influence of legislation.
You’d have to understand the meaning of democracy yourself before you’d be able to explain it to others. This thread amply demonstrates that you lack this understanding.
The usa has been at war with korea for 70 years. They have spread lots of lies about their enemies. Most of those lies are extremely easy to identify as lies with a single objective look at them.
Democracy is when the people rule. Look up some korean documents. Do the people rule there?

I’ll explain this to you one final time. A functioning democracy is a government that represents the will of the majority.

Ditto! :)

Edit: how many political parties do they have?
Ancient greece did not have democracy, as only a small fraction of people ruled. Real democracies must be ruled by all the people.
