Code communities are very democratic, they produce good code and good coders.

Democracy is good governance not a dictatorship of a majority.

A benevolent dictatorship is said to be a most efficient form of government, until it ushers in a non-benevolent dictatorship.

Democracy is not perfect but relatively sustainable in that there is a peaceful mechanism for change and a means of consensus.

Small communities don’t need too many rules but in time as they grow it becomes necessary.
