I disagree with Andrew's take on “real democracy”. Marxism is real democracy. What he calls “good democracy” is actually a Republic, where the dictatorship of the proletariat is restricted in the powers it can wield. Unfettered rule by the majority faction will always result in the oppression of the minority.

Agreed-the US does not and never did have a democracy. This is a democratic republic, which, of course, is slipping away.
