The point is that the original criticism raised by guerrilla (that democracy should not primarily serve the interests of the majority) is unavoidable.

Democratic political systems can only add friction and delay the execution of the majority will and no democratic system is capable of maintaining immutable rights against a sufficient public interest.

In this sense, the criticism is empty because there is no alternative.
