I can see what your getting at. However, can one really continue to make the argument that one should split democratic theories and ideals from the way it's practiced and functions in reality? What if the reality of democracy means that we should re-examine our theories? Anyway, I think our political system is founded on the way our economy is structured. Our economy isn't democratic and I think increasingly looks like something 'fuedal.' Our ideas, perhaps not surprisingly, are starting to look 'fuedal' too. With both the eonomy and society looking more 'fuedal' or pre-enlightenment, politics is bound to follow, which is a shame and disturbing. I think the era of 'bourgeois democracy' which had its good points, is coming to an end.
