I think the rule of the people, which is democracy, can come in many forms, Marx not excluded. A fair and just society is democratic regardless of its formal structure.

I don't want to threadjack but the elements of democracy in Marxism have been distorted beyond recognition while the elements of democracy in the U.S. have been praised beyond warrant.

The money and corruption extant in the current political process are close to fatally bleeding this system of any democratic pretense.

Either way, spending money, resources and political energy for war and nationalism, versus production and construction, guarantees the death of any kind of democracy.
