Did that mean anything?
Did they have freedom?
Democracy is indispensible to Communism, remember, so said Lenin.
You've been raised in a Communist nation (the United States), and so have I, and we've been indoctrinated to believe that "democracy" is indispensibe to "freedom". Indeed, nothing can be further from the truth, and even people like James Madison understood this as can be gleaned from Federalist #10 and #14.
Are there "democracies" to be found in Scripture?

In Australia, voting is compulsory at both federal and state level. No vote, they fine you.
Like the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA is a communist nation and it sucks.
As for voting, I think it should be suspended until the sheeple can have their conditioning undone.
