    Liberal democracy is oligarchic period. Liberal legal frameworks exist to allow the rich to control the playing field.

      If you look back at the first comment I made on this thread, you’ll see that this is exactly what I said. Liberal democracy has a historic tendency to turn into oligarchy.

            That is true, but you might notice that there is some space between these two categories. Germany is a pretty small country, and it’s also an oligarchy.

              Small comunities is probably limited to pashtun villages with a few dozen freeholders. Anything at the size or larger than the free population of classical athens seems too big.
