What countries do you think have democracy?
Because liberal / capitalist dictatorships are not democracies, despite marketing themselves as ones.
Democracy is not a binary, it can exist to varying degrees. A strong example of democracy would be Uruguay, where popular votes can block and propose legislation, which has been used to prevent privatization. A more radical example might be Federal Northern Syria.
