1. well, so in simple terms, i *think* what you are meaning to say is whether an identifiable dictatorship should be allowed in a democracy. of course not. at that point it ceases to be a democracy. (example, current nepal) 2. but within its framework, a democracy *has* to include any and all voices (gotta learn some lessons from the decades of not doing this!). so i guess there're no disagreements. misunderstandings perhaps.
