Why haven't you abandoned democracy yet?

Pick one.

Democracy, at worst, places responsibility within the people so if the result is undesirable the people themselves are to blame and the people themselves are involved in this learning process. People must be involved in order to properly learn.

it's an outlet for public discontent. If there is something broken within a society, you don't have to civil war to sort it out.

In school I'm fairly certain we all learned that democracy was great and everything was bad before women and minorities could vote...unfortunately we had to grow up. And I think a lot of us realized that first, we aren't a democracy, the west is mostly constitutional or monarchy led republics. And second, that athens, which invented democracy, only allowed freemen to vote, just as america and UK granted landowners voting privileges. Voting is called a right today but was never a right in the thousands of years it's been used to decide matters.

Probably the worst thing about voting is that it's called a right, equivalent with self-defense, free speech and freedom of religion. And as it's been equated with those things, we've seen people use elections to vote away those other rights(oh the irony). Voting isn't a right, it's always been a privilege to those who bear the most responsibility, earned the privilege through vetting, or contribute above the typical person in society. Perhaps the best thing about voting is that keeping it in the hands of a few guarantees that the many will look out for their individual interests and rights. It's very hard to get laws passed and big governments formed when taxes come from a handful of individuals and everyone else wants as much freedom as possible. The perception that the average man has no political power will force him into other avenues to express his contempt for tyrannical government. Monarchies can actually be more free than universal democracies because people with no political freedom or power will demand other forms of freedom and authority over their own lives.

Dumb people don't vote nearly as often as smart people. That is why the Democratic party is so into voter turnout. They have to be. Their base needs its hand held and to be motivated.

well, for the most of human history we had an aristocratic rule of some form or another, the problem with it is the said group is susceptible of hatred, especially during bad times, as such periodically you'd have revolutions and all that jazz


so, the aristocracy survived to put a mask of democratism - since people are easily fulled if you hold the public opinion, you hold the actual vote

Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy.

Democracy is a failure, just look at poland, france, and even sweden people voting for nationalistic parties is a disgrace that shouldn't happen. and who votes them? the lower educated of course! I don't blame them as much, its not their fault, and none is better of worse regardless of his / hers intelligence but fact is that these people should be quiet on decision making.

Do you see republic anywhere in that description

>American education

Not exactly, people are sheep and are told who to vote for by opinion leaders, most of the dumbest people dont vote, and theres the Bill of Rights so the majority doesn't rule over individual rights.

>A crowned republic is a form of government where there is a monarch and a royal family representing the nation, but their role is purely ceremonial and all the royal perogatives are prescribed by custom and law in such a way that the monarch has no real discretion over governmental and constitutional issues. A crowned republic may thus be a form of parliamentary republic, while officially it may be called a constitutional monarchy.

Any system where anyone can dictate another's life is shit. People need to grow up and start universalizing morality. We all own ourselves. Start letting people know they can oppose this verdict with high risk of injury or death to their person if they do not cease their aggression.

>a piece of paper stops people from violating each other's rights
Woops, that's wrong. Immediate, and extreme consequences are what stop people from doing whatever they want. Individuals need to be ruthless when it comes to their self ownership.

Democracy is not only voting, it implies a lot of other values like freedom of speech, equality toward the laws, freedom of the press, freedom to reunite, etc...
I don't know about you but I personnaly like to talk shit about our leaders and expose them.
If there was no democracy /pol/ would not exist for example.

Problem is more that our majority is dumbed down by negros and muslims than the system itself.
