Well... A republic is the People selecting Others (from a pool driven by money) who listen to the People, and then do what They want - or what They're paid to do.

In theory, without money, a republic is better than a demo(n)cracy, where it's two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner, but not much better.

Far better would be a solutocracy, and especially when the need to account for Our energy added into a system is removed.
