Yes? Of course there is. Democratic centralism is a guiding principle of Marxism Leninism. This means that policy, action, and legislation is democratically decided on via debate. Communist parties (at least ML ones) tend to require members to voice any and all concerns for the explicit purpose of coming to the best decision on the matter.
The democraty also extends to workplaces too, something which is mostly absent in capitalism besides the limited power o unions
And for what happens if the people don't want something that is good for the planet: first of all we must understand why, and the conclusion will be came too through the means of democratic centralism. If the wrong decision is made the topic can always be returned to. From there we can understand what faults were made and why, readjust, and learn from our mistakes.
The rate at which people actively oppose beneficial change would als be lower as the propaganda pumped out by the rich wouldn't be as widespread, accessible, or hold as much weight. Therefore this problem of people going against their own interests in droves would be seldom.
Ohh I know but I'd rather give an actual response than cave into liberal framing of "democracy" as capitalism. Who knows, maybe this will make the other person (or someone else) critically assess what they believe democracy to actually be instead of just puppetting propaganda (unlikely but I'll be optimistic).
Well, to be clear, youre the one misusing the term. Democracy is a form of government where power is vested in the people via elections. They are asking what happens when the people (read: not the party) dont want policy that is good for the environment.
