A 24-country survey finds a median of 59% are dissatisfied with how their democracy is functioning, and 74% think elected officials don’t care what people like them think.
All Western countries (excluding Cuba, as I’m sure you do) are capitalist states with bourgeois democracies (that is when they’re not being overtly fascist). And you are very much correct: bourgeois democracies are not nearly as egalitarian as they purport to be, because they serve the capitalist class to the detriment of the working class.
If you want to dive deeper into game theory, I suggest Marxist economist and Greek ex-Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis’ Game Theory: A critical text.
