Democracy... as ideal; groundless, dangerous tool employed by ambition...
Democracy... as practice; freedoms given, not practiced...
Democracy... as rule; the rule of the people over the people?
Democracy... as beginnings; origin of solidarity, of communcal bonds, of failure, of hope, of war, of peace and of the end?
Democracy... as ethos; the trap of moralism?
Democracy... as challenge; contend and subordinate...hierarchy? structure? metaphysics? vanity?
Democracy... as networks of recalcitrance; stagnant order crushes freedom - unfettered freedom is vanity all the way down?
