Someone more versed in political science than I can correct me here, but I'm pretty sure direct democracy and true democracy would be synonyms. But that doesn't mean there wouldn't still be a need to fight back against antidemocratic forces. In any system where the laws can change, so too can the holders of power, and people are very capable of voting against their self interest. Complacency is, unfortunately, never an option.
Good points, thank you!
