I can see how you would create a perfect democracy amid apocalypse. You would find people who share your views. You would all build fence outside cities and then inside you would create utopia with all the rights the democracy gives. You would have fair police, prosecutor's office, courts. Independent journalism. Elections where only good politician would be elected. You would have a social justice and all right would be respected. No one would have to work, they would chill and have fun. Food would just magically appear.....
With that Katherine thing we saw what happens when local "Fireflies" win. Those who seek justice and better life with no authoritarian people. They become even more crazy and kill everyone they dont like with no court and lawyers. They create same dictatorship regime and eventually destroy what was build before them.
Fireflies in Joel town would be no different. They would take power and then find out that people dont want to work for community when no one forces them and pays them with "money" they can exchange for something. They would just go and steal. And then there would be no food and no electricity. Town would go into anarchy. So Fireflies would have to start doing what Fedra was doing - they would create police force and make people to behave and work. Otherwise town would just collapse and people would starve.
