Is there anything wrong with being a republic that's not a democracy?

You mean one person in charge who's not chosen by the people? I think you're describing a dictatorship.
@Stopmakingsense Thank you for the best comment!
@Stopmakingsense A true monarchy would qualify as such as well indeed. But in the Netherlands, and I believe in most monarchies, the king/queen has hardly any influence on law making and their job is mostly ceremonial.

@NerdyPotato and talk like that! It's a substitute for having politics. It's like pretending to be a grown-up!
I'm for it.

We have neither. We have communism dressed up as democracy..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout but if the masses control the means of production, isn't that democracy at work in the economy, or communism?

You don't have that!

@yeronlyman I forget if human rights include the right to democracy. So many people lie, it seems like maybe human rights are whatever you decide they are.
