The facade of democratic governments is cracking, in my opinion.
One factor is perhaps that, to use the USA as an example, 300 million people do not have AN opinion. In smaller groups, agreement is easier to come to.
Communism was, as you say, the bogeyman, represented as being totalitarian and not acting in the interests of the masses. Capitalist democracy replaces the state with the massed corporations, but otherwise seems to act in a (un)fairly equivalent manner.
