Answer:

The limits of what we call democracy are not hidden to socialist activists — not that it’s only socialist activists who see a problem, Liberals as far back as John Stuart Mill brought up the tyrannical nature of democracy making several mentions to the ‘tyranny of the majority’. This ‘tyranny’ exercised itself by imposing moral rules on the entire population, whether they had personally agreed to it or not. Who you can marry or sleep with, whether or not recreational drugs are legal, decriminalized, or are subject to extrajudicial action (as in the Philippines), if abortions should be permitted, are all ways in which a state imposes itself on personal liberty and freedom of choice.

For socialists, however, this is but one of the problems democracy presents. The other, and more important problem, is whether or not democracy, as we know it, is even democratic at all!

Lenin once said that democracy is nothing but having the right “To decide once every few years which members of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people through parliament” not simply because of the moral/legislative power that is possessed by the state, but because Lenin knew that the government cannot truly represent the wishes of the people so long as it was governed under capitalist principles — that is, so long as wealth accumulation under global competition was the concern of the state. Some hold the hopeful stance that governments can and will carry out the ‘will of the people’ as soon as we elect the right people into government, but this is wishful thinking as the limits of implementing the ‘will of the people’ will always be set by the functioning of the economy. That is to say that the government will always be beholden to business.

There is also the more philosophical question of what constitutes a democracy? Today's concept of democracy developed as a way to end the rule of kings and their unfettered control of power and legislation. The idea was simple, a people should have an equal say in how it’s being governed and it should all be governed in the same way — not based on the will and prejudices of one person. but this leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Is democracy something that is practised once every election cycle? Is it nothing but ticking a box in a ballot and then stepping away and letting the gears grind? If we agree that representational democracy is what democracy really is, what does a representative democracy look like? Does it have an electoral college? Is it first-past-the-post? Is it proportional? Some of these preserve the concept of one person one vote better than others, others create more pressure on how a person should vote as to make their vote count at all. Or should democracy be direct through the use of referendums?

Finally, there is the question of what should be determined democratically and what shouldn’t? Currently, as soon as we walk into work all sense of democracy is lost. We have no say in the work we do, how it’s done, and who should be responsible for it — that is who should be our boss. Even rights considered sacred under democracy, such as freedom of speech, is increasingly restricted by work with the use of social media policies determining what we can and cannot write about on social media so long as we are an employee, and therefore a representative of the organization.
