    Direct democracy gets rid of politicians and the general population vote on each bill/law change

      That still doesn’t guarantee the military won’t take over, reactionary sentiments spread through propaganda, etc. Without a revolution there will never be true democracy.

        … The military could literally take over under any system. That is not an excuse to sit on our hands

          My point isn’t that everything is futile, but rather that a better democracy isn’t possible under capitalism.
