I think you’ve misunderstood the meaning of democracy here. I think you’re just talking about not being a totalitarian state, where the state can control all your activities.
I mean, there is no state, so I guess I just don’t understand analogy you’re drawing. If EA had democratic control of funding, you wouldn’t describe that as a “democratic element”?
But it sounds like we agree there is at least one democratic element, which is all that is needed to disprove the original claim, so probably no need to pursue this thread anymore. Thanks for the response!
