Democracy and democratization are not necessarly the same thing. In fact @0xbitcoiner didn't mention the word "democracy".

Democratization means mob ruling, a group deciding for others, it doesn't mean equal rights. You better say "open access to money". But yeah, this word was inserted so deep into people's mind that now in their brain democracy = freedom = rights etc when in fact is not.

I understand and agree with you. It is true that our modern "democracy" results in the tyranny of the majority.
However, the definition of "democratization", as I mentioned earlier, still holds true, even if it may not fully realized in our present form of democracy.
