> that does what the people actually want

A problem is, that there's no such thing. There's a common denominator (punishing killers, rapists, thiefs), but this is what punish all governments anyway.

When you go past this point, people's interests are atomized.

They can be forced to do what we want, through means like protest and strike, at least in the short term

indirectly thru elected representatives, legislation, I think so but I'm no political historian. Problem we've got now that you touch on is the judiciary gave this to corps through a 50 year push. Can we get citizens united overturned...
