Your criticism are no different from "democracy bad" because you only blame democracies for problems that will not disappear regardless of the method of governance.
You also fit the "anarchist mindset" of believing you can tune out people who have "other agenda" and fix problem.

The increased polarization you see is not a question of scale. It's because we have solved/caused/resolved so many problems already that what's left are fundamental stuff like "maybe we shouldn't follow religious fiction as laws".
You'd have the exact same problems even if it was just a group of 20 monkeys. Democracy/Bureaucray may slow things down but it also make it harder for extremist to fuck everything other are ok with.

Same for the idea that "elected representative need to come from the same social strata". Probably also have a belief they "needs to come from the same culture". Which is a silly thing because if your culture isn't already compatible with others, you cannot have a unified government in the first place.

>we've still got autocrats shitting things up
Look at history and autocracies are disappearing, the only reason they even exist is that we have nowhere to colonize.
No doubt China would immediately try to colonize other planet and win through economic domination. But democratic population are fully capable of seeing through that crap and use deadly force. They don't because it's too easy.

Damn that post got way longer than planned.
