Interesting you ignored the question of how that word could have meaning if it describes all countries

if all countries implemented direct democracy, does direct democracy lose its meaning?

Actually, kind of, yes. Because there wouldn't need to be a distinction drawn... just how words work.

we are all human but we still have a word for it. you don't seem to have a good grap of the concept of language.

Lol nope. The word human exists because other lifeforms do and you need a way to differentiate. Democracy is a word that exists because other governments exist. This is hilarious.
