They failed in morality. Yes. That’s not democracy.
External government is only necessary for those who will not take on the mantle of self discipline.
Like the average person can self discipline lol
Smoking, alcoholism, etc. wouldn't be a problem
Social expectation creates social results.
If you expect every middle aged man in a white van is a pedo, society will make every van owner into one.
At the birth of the so called demoskratia in athens socrates stated that democracy was doomed to fail due to the ignorance of the masses and their overcapability to be brainwashed leading to greater tyranny than that of a time before the kingships of the 5th century. Philosopher kings may arguably be an interesting adaptive concept in that sense as he believed they may be the solution yet also the potentual end of demoskratia.
a system of representative voting is needed
yet also that of strong capable leadership#
yet ambition will always disease the progression of man, alonside greed
which is hardwired into our social behaviour
These behaviours would just become taboo amd not in the spotlight, secret instead. In which case they could potentially do even more damage
dawkinain theory teaches us a fundementally equal society would be impossible to that degree due to biology
true
I see
There's only one country with a democracy on earth
I don't support republics
Democracies though <:ayy:591181633105952788>
What is the alternative to republics
Anarchy? Dictators?
Autocratic Theocracy
Syndicalism
Called direct democracy these days
As "representative democracy" sounded nicer than republic

Democracy is not independant of republics.
Democracy is majority rule and republic is rule by law. they can easily overlap.
If the majority creates law.
The meaning of the word is "the people rule"
I don't see how that matches with a select few people ruling
Both are trash, democracy is the sole reason why europe is doomed
No country in Europe is a democracy
Switzerland has elements
Democrats dont want democracy. they want minority rule
I'm not a democrat
Pure democracy doesnt exist except in mob rule and ganglands
No
