No wtf. Democracy is state that holds elections. Wtf is “owned and controlled by the people”? How are people supposed to control the government? The government is controlled by govt officials. Common people don’t control shit. How can a government be owned by people? Is government even a property that can be owned? That doesn’t make any sense.
Umm, no. Elected politicians can do whatever tf they want. There’s no legal mechanism to make them fulfill the promises they made during their campaign.
That we elected
Not to mention that elected politicians aren’t controlled by the people, most of the government positions aren’t elected.
Through democracy
Democracy is when Government is owned by people. People own government through democracy. Great argument.
If I ask a friend to water my plants, do I no longer own the plants?
If you ask government to persecute people who break the law, do you no longer own people who break the law?
Umm, no. Elected politicians can do whatever tf they want. There’s no legal mechanism to make them fulfill the promises they made during their campaign.
The next election is the mechanism that makes them fulfill the promises they’ve made during their campaign. If your politicians aren’t afraid of losing the next election, you don’t live in a real democracy, you probably live in a FPTP country, and you should fix that.
Not to mention that elected politicians aren’t controlled by the people, most of the government positions aren’t elected.
I don’t know what country you are assuming counts as the entire world with this sentence, I’m going to assume America because it’s usually Americans that do that.
But even then, what is wrong with me hiring someone to hire more people?

What is your counterargument other than “no”?
If you ask government to persecute people who break the law, do you no longer own people who break the law?
You can’t own people, you never did, what are you trying to ask here?
What do YOU think the people owning the means of production looks like?
The next election is the mechanism that makes them fulfill the promises they’ve made during their campaign
Why are you saying this? Who’s the target audience of this bs? What makes you say that if it’s demonstrably false? Elected politicians don’t keep their promises, they just don’t.
If your politicians aren’t afraid of losing the next election
Is Trump scared to loose the next election?
what is wrong with me hiring someone to hire more people?
It’s perfectly fine, but unrelated to the question at hand. You don’t hire politicians.
What is your counterargument other than “no”?
“No” is actually a stronger argument than yours bc you’re making a positive statement here and the burden of proof is on you.
You can’t own people, you never did, what are you trying to ask here?
I dunno. I guess your initial analogy was shit that explained nothing. Don’t use analogies then.
A democracy is a state in which the government is owned and controlled by the people.

So not Norway, or any Western capitalist pseudo democracy.
Yes Norway, or any other country with proportional representation, but not FPTP democracies.
How else do you think the people can own the means of production?
