What are the similarities between anarchy and democracy?

Answer 1

Anarchism and Direct Democracy are quite similar. Anarchists believe people should have the freedom to make the decisions that affect their lives. They create connections based on what they need to survive and solidarity, rather than for the sake of profit or greed. They employ majority or consensus decison making processes to do this. Everyone has a say. This kind of democracy is different from American democracy.

Answer 2

Dictatorship and Democracy are both form of governance. Dictatorship is ruled by a tyrant leader while Democracy is ruled by the majority and is for the common welfare of its subjects. The similarity between the two is that they are widely seen as a type of governance and such cannot exist without its subject or citizen to be ruled upon.

Similarities are very few between the two, however, both are forms of political control. Democracy and dictatorship both involve a central figure of authority, since there is not "true" form of democracy. An example, Obama and Mussolini are both central authoritative figures. If we were talking about a true democracy, a similarity could lie in the fact that neither are very effective. Whereas a true democracy would get nothing done because of disagreement, a dictatorship might make all of the wrong decisions because there is no dissent. They're are both ineffective forms of extreme governing.

Anarchy is the direct opposite of a dictatorship. By definition an anarchy is a society void of government or any laws.

What can be said regarding any commonality is that both systems of society are inhospitable to any kind democratic rule in a nation.
