If you're not aware of how democratic centralism works, may I suggest reading Chapter Three of Anna Louise Strong's "This Soviet Life." My issue with your comment was not about the election in Taiwan, but your use of the word totalitarian.

If you think getting a mere 40% of the vote (of those who participated) and then being allowed to dictate to 100% of the population is unquestionably the best only form of democracy, then I strongly recommend you read that chapter. It's quite short and easy to read.

As to how this is related to owning the means of production, maybe this will help you understand how who owns the means of production plays a major role in how a country and elections are run. It's a matter of who has the power to give authority, not who has authority to use that power. Representatives who were voted in by <40% of the population and whose actions are not beholden to even those 40% sounds a lot more totalitarian to me.
