Mob Rule, simple as

Democracy is an experiment, and is already in the 2nd stage of collapse

Modern democracy isn’t democracy. It’s a Democratic-Republic.

They are very very different

@Attika "democracy" refers to any system where people can vote on any matters of government in this context

From 1945 until 2000, the number of democracies was increasing - it stopped increasing in 2000

and is now decreasing

Democracy is a failed expirement

The rights of man should not be infringed upon, the ideas and beliefs of the individual should be upheld above all as so a future of freedom may manifest, democracy in itself allow the best route for such a way of life as it allows each person a right of voting.

in its current state it wont hold out, there is way to much bureaucracy. all it takes is one major power to go AWOL and they will not be able to coordinate. even still, there is growing contempt for democracy in many nations, and unless a mare efficient form of it is applied then it will collapse

Citizens typically do not have the cognitive or emotional capacities required to maintain a democracy

@Maksim then by you’re definition a republic is also a democracy? You wish to take you’re own rights away? What exactly would you prefer? Communism? How about educating people.

Democracy is an exercise in the might of superior numbers. Might makes right.

@Attika A republic is a democracy imo

direct democracy not indirect democracy and again I would say old fashioned classical democracy functions best due to a lack of greater beaurocracy that is upheld today

Any form where a general populus votes in any manner

No

A republic and democracy are different

@Attika I would prefer an Autocratic Theocracy

I just looked it up

So a God-King?

🤔

@Attika When i say democracy, i specifically refer to anytime a general population votes on any matter

@Attika no

Very different

Greek city states devolved from democracy into mob rule in only 50 years time. Those guys fucked boys in the ass because majority said it was ok.

An Autocratic Theocracy is a group (not one) of clergy

Literally.

@You Can't Afford Me then would a feudal society in that sense count as the general populace is voting through an indirect form of leadership through feifdoms through representatives?

I can get behind a theocracy depending on the religion.

a direct democracy would be differnent

Theocracies are a breeding ground of tyranny

@Attika The unfortunate truth is, the human brain is not designed for self-rule

very true

The problem with democracy is that its not difficult to convince an immoral majority to abuse the minority.

rwanda would be a good example

yes

Democracy in action.

@Niggler that’s retarded. There’s a reason Greek city states were the intellectual powerhouses that are still talked about today.

@Attika And at what cost?
