Ha! That's funny. :) But not entirely accurate. The word "democracy" comes from the word "deme" which essentially a group of individually weak people who band together to make sure that they're all represented against other groups.
A deme was (and is) just a small municipality. There were plenty of powerful people who were members of and essentially ran a deme.
Individually weak people can band together and vote to steal from the less weak, but smaller groups. Does voting and being represented make stealing moral?
