So, uhm, who has a democracy? Native Americans! I get it. He was dissing indians. The fact is, Democracy is the weakest form of government. The strongest and most responsive is an oligarchy. This works best when children are educated from a young age to fill bureaucratic and civil positions. Pfft, what a pipe dream! people being governed by people dedicated to their well being..LOL. Who would buy that? As I said in the beginning, Where did this guy see a democracy to philosophize about?

It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. -Alexander Fraser Tytler (1747–1813)So here we are.
