Don Rizzle:
no i'm just discussing the drawbacks of democracy and the good points of undemocratic regimes, both are corrupt just one has more scutany and the other is way more effective when power is not being abused.

Oh ok, my bad :cheers:

Democracy has its pros and cons. Pure democracy doesn't work, but it's always better than a dictatorship.

I will say this, I'd rather live in a democracy than a dictatorship, a single party democracy or anything else you can imagion. Even though my side is down, I can at least express myself and question the government's directions.

The problem with Democracy is not whatever you mentioned, it's people blindly following the government because a democracy is meant for educated people to vote and to hear all the sides and then decide what they want. I am questioning a 2 party Democracy right now, because I think there are not enough sides heard and enough point of views express. But in the U.S. culture we like to justify all wins because it was over 50% or a majority. So our culture is about 2 parties, and that's cool. But I am not someone that thinks Democracy is failing, if anything I think we need more parties and more views with a higher educated population.
