Except that they're not spontaneous. Once your direct democracy has made a
decision, it has to force its operations on the minority who disapprove.
On the other hand, the great majority of market operations take place
because both parties want them to take place, and thus they participate
volutarily. To that extent, capitalism is much closer to "spontaneous
order" than democracy.
