"Gaddafi was murdered because he advocated for direct democracy and an end to "representative democracy" which is just code for rule by elites."
This is an outright lie. America has a representative democracy in the form of a Republic. It is a much better system than direct democracy, which is code for "mob rule." Democracy chose Barabbas over Jesus... a Republic chose Trump over Hillary.
Rome was a Republic.
Key word is WAS. After Julius Cesar crossed the Rubicon against the orders of the Roman Senate, it became an Empire. But it was never a representative republic, it was a class tiered society, with a free middle class, and an enslaved bottom rung of captives from all over the Roman world.
