I’m mildly familiar with the idea, but I was referencing this subset of the quoted sentence

> … and, like many democracies before us, we ultimately voted to abolish our own democracy …

The ellipses are intentional, if the fragments of the sentence before or after change how to interpret this, please let me know

The US example that I would give would be the Articles of Confederation being turned over and replaced with our Constitution.

In the article I read this to mean: they designed a power structure thinking it should be fully open and flat, like a company where everyone can do everything on GitHub. But once they had run the project for some time, they acknowledged that the decisions were flowing through the three people.

That’s a legit example I knew of, but didn’t come to mind when thinking through this. Thank you

Edit: legit from the view that the “democracy” was between states and they voted to give up some of their sovereignty to a federal government, not that The People voted for removing democracy
