Give me one reason why everyone holds democracy to some kind of gold standard.
>>524074922>who is right>who is wrong
>>524074922Because divine right is no longer a credible reason for rulership, so the ruling class has to derive its legitimacy (at least nominally) from the consent of the population
>>524074922Because it sounds nice on paper.And it works very well in small sample sizes so retards then think it will work well on a larger sample size.Fact is diversity destroys democracy.Democarcy works in groups of similar people, Democracy falls apart the larger the scale is.Imagine voting on what movie to watch with 10 friendsYou will end up watching a movie you enjoy no matter what gets picked.Now imagine voting on what movie to watch with the whole world and you're watching a movie you hate.But its not about movies its about the direction of travel for politics and the larger the scale the worse democracy works.
A better way of pretitent would be by county, with each county part of a large state electorate region. This would mazimize democracy.
>>524074922Because the vast majority of people go to public indoctrination schools, and aren't taught / interested in political theory.
Greeks n shit
