democracy as a piece in progress by iterations

based mostly in Toronto RZLBD displays on democracy as an evolving system, based mostly on Plato's concept that “the democracy that’s fairest and most engaging to the group is usually probably the most unstable.” He means that democracy as an idea should stay dynamic and open to reinvention. When energy turns into static or goes unchallenged, it dangers consolidating and in the end corrupting. For Reza Aliabadi, democracy should stay in movement—at all times a piece in progress that requires engagement and adaptation to stay related.
