The idea that if democracy wasn't bourgeois, liberal, colonized, settler, white, etc, etc, it would be good is kinda noble-savage coded. That there exists a pure democracy under the snow of capitalism is a myth.

I read once in an essay about repression against anti-genocide protesters for Gaza: “We live in a class dictatorship thinly disguised as a democracy.” But democracy has always been class dictatorship. There was never a democracy that wasn't. Same with the noble-savage trope.
