What are some of the major critiques to liberal democracy and majority rule put forth by thinkers such as Marx, Goldman, Gentile/Mussolini, and/or Fanon? How is political power tied to dominant factions such as a certain economic class, nationality, or ethnic identity? Can power be separated by these dominant groups from within the system, or does a real transition of power require a restructuring of the political system, and in what manner? How would supporters of such a system, such as Locke, respond to these criticisms and how would they justify the liberal democratic political structure?
