Pure Democracies are known to be historically failures and result in some of the worst oppression time and time again.

In today's age, corporations love pure democracy, because money buys democracy, including buying down regulation against your industry, or more popularly, buying more regulation in your industry to solidify your semi-monopoly through regulatory capture (such as pay-to-pollute "carbon taxes"). Democracy is bought through the for-hire near-total control of the public through media. He who controls the the public's access and exposure to information, controls democracy.
