Well, I don't think a representative democracy like the US has could really result in enslavement of 99.9% of people.
In any case, I am no fascist (or anarchist). I don't know who first said this, but the only thing worse than democracy is every other alternative.
And I don't think a direct democracy like California or Switzerland could result in enslavement of 49% of the people like you suggested in your comment.
