Communism, anarchism, doesn't matter.
So, most leftists agree that a final communist/anarchist society would be the pinnacle of (direct) democracy. However, what would happen if people of some place vote to do some very non leftist things.
Like, the majority people of a place vote to, say, kill all homosexuals. Or, some town in south America votes to get rid of all Mexicans. Or some Middle Eastern muslim city votes to continue treating women like cattle. etc. How do we deal with stuff like that? It sounds like a big problem that could easily happen.
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
