Democracy is mob rule (and therefore authoritarian) where the mob is organized by vote. Democracy is just an relatively egalitarian way to create a mob.

Better to be ruled by the majority consent than minority fiat. Neither is perfect. But the latter is far far worse.

i think this is true for a direct but centralised democracy.

in parliamentary democracies it's different, with rulers being chosen through popularity contests. the majority of the people usually doesnt have actual controll over individual political decisions.
