TIL that Aristotle supported the concept of the "polity" which translated loosely as "the community" to decide how they wish to be governed. Greek society achieved this briefly as all community members had a short term on the council that governed and made decisions. This is the closest to true democracy any society has ever achieved.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die."
