Quote:
'Drawing on his direct experience of Athenian democracy — the same democracy that unjustly sentenced his teacher Socrates to death — Plato tells us that in the degenerated democracy (ochlocracy), “the people are enslaved by themselves,” being manipulated by demagogues who flatter them and exploit their fears and passions.'
So even in the old days demacracy wasn't that "good" as we are told.
One must be rather simple-minded to conclude that modern ‘democracy’ is an improvement on the times of Athens or even a perfect form of government for the present day.
Most people do not know the difference between democracy and anarchy, let alone the true meaning of either term.
With such contemporaries, it is impossible to bring about any change in the existing system.
