Democracy ≠ liberty and this is my main critique of this video. The rest of the diagnosis might be true, but democracy is not the cure for that. Democracy in reality is a kleptocratic oligarchy. Elections just switch the puppets. She herself is in the oligarch class, that hates strong leaders, because they are unpredictable, may be hard to manipulate and they take the money that the oligarchs want. Instead of leaders they prefer committees to rule and milk the sheep, telling them that taking their liberties away is for their good. She IS the kleptocracy. Democracies don't die, because they never actually existed. What she's complaining about is just that there is a competition between the predators. Rant over.
