    Almost any other kind of democracy. Representative democracy is better than fascism but it is the worst form of democracy

        Everything else people have mentioned in the comments. Proletarian democracy, democratic centralism, participatory democracy, etc.

        Well, the first two are really just a way of saying socialism.

          Democratic centrism is more of a rule or process or principle. It isn’t even a form of government and it’s compatible with many forms of government.

          Proletarian democracy isn’t well defined so I can’t say anything since it means 1000 different things to 1000 different people and often does include representative democracy.

          Participatory democracy similarly is a spectrum and is compatible with representative democracy.

          So to actually talk about this you would need to be more specific about how the “better” form of government would work.

            How do you define “working”? Otherwise I don’t know how you’re measuring it. Would you say that a system that allows for literally one of the most unpopular genocides in history is “working”? Or a system that is working overtime to increase income and wealth disparity rather than reduce it? Is that working? I certainly wouldn’t but I’m guessing you think that’s working swell

              Refer to my first comment. It’s not a good system, it’s just better than the other ones. Point to another system that doesn’t have this kind of blood on its hands. China is executing an ethnic cleansing within its borders on its own people right now.
