I think the problem we have run into here, that lead you to downvote my comment unfairly and uncritically, immediately
I didn't downvote you at all. I appreciate anyone that wants to have a conversation with me.
you do not yet have what I would call a leftist conception of democracy. You have a bourgeois conception of democracy because you live in the imperial core. You have not sufficiently revolutionized your own politics, in all honesty.
Could you recommend a book, or some other theory, that could help me reach a place where I can understand?
Absolutely. Mao Zedong writes very clearly on this.
A work that would be particularly relevant to Hong Kong would be of course inside Maoism itself.
There is a particularly relevant example here for Hungary. Please read the whole thing carefully, then move on to On Contradiction and other Maoist works. This is necessary to think clearly about China, Hong Kong, and so on.

Thanks a lot! I'll try to give this a good read sometime this week.
No worries comrade. I’m sorry for being short!
No problem. I'm used to people responding a bit emotionally; this is an emotional topic after all.
