Off topic, but this part was interesting.
<blockquote>
 <a href="/en/Plato">Plato</a> and <a href="/en/Aristotle.">Aristotle.</a> used the term &quot;<a href="/en/democratic%20system">democratic system</a>&quot; (<a href="/en/demokratia">demokratia</a>) to mean the same thing as &quot;<a href="/en/popular">popular</a> democracy,&quot; but <a href="/en/Polyubios">Polyubios</a> used &quot;democracy&quot; (demokratia) in the positive sense, and to describe &quot;<a href="/en/popular">popular</a> democracy&quot; used the term &quot;<a href="/en/%20oclokratia"> oclokratia</a>&quot;, which is also consistent with modern usage.
