    Not really. Actual democracies have incentives to make things better for the majority of people. And the easiest way to do that is to break up monopolies (especially in media), tax the rich, and then invest heavily in education.

    Coincidentally, the way to kill a democracy is to do the exact opposite.

      Show me a state that has done any of this to great sucess? Even democracies don’t seem to have much stay past two hundred and fifty years.

      A state always ends as authoritarian tool used against the people it persecutes the most. Very snow ball effect like.
