I believe that's the point being made. "Representative Democracy", or at least the pretense of which some live under at this time, is the best we ("we" referring to a particular group of people, not humanity as a sum) have found so far.

I get the point. My point is that we're still far from trying an actual "Representative Democracy" for any largish group of people, and that the Democracy of ancient Greece, with all its glaring flaws, was more Democratic than anything we have right now.
