Absolute democracy

Absolute democracy is an extreme form of a collective perception of order, based by the need of the human mind to control its surroundings and conduct a predictive view of perceiving the collective world.

It should not to be confused with "power democracy" as found in the Swiss political system (that bears more frequent elective activities for the adjustments of social/political matters than other democracies).^[1]

Absolute democracy is similar to direct democracy, but absolute democracies are more radical.

Ideology

An absolute democracy is based on tyranny of the majority, where a minority group in a democracy can be ignored. Absolute democracies function as completely changeable systems where things such as rights and privileges begin to loose meaning, because rights can be voted away each election.

There are no supermajorities in absolute democracies, because that is just an added limit on democracy.

Nothing is stable or long term, because everything is under scrutiny from the voters.

Relation to absolute monarchy

An absolute monarchy suggests total authoritarian rule from a monarch or other leading dictator, while in this type of democracy, 100% of all power is concentrated into the majority opinion for each issue. For example, if a king decides he wants to make free pies a human right, there is nothing stopping him from doing that. But in an Absolute Democracy, rights become superfluous because they change every time there is an election, and there is nothing keeping legislation permanent or long term.^[2]
