malte@evan No, but. No, because in several ways, the United States represents a cooptation of the democratic spirit. Until around the mid 19th Cent. 'democracy' was a slur against popular revolts not unlike how 'terrorism' is used today against all sorts of things like climate action, labor strikes etc. The US establishment claimed 'democracy' when they managed to change it to mean voting for a representative. David Graeber told the story in his 2013 book The Democracy Project.
