RE: Why The Chinese Don't Want Democracy
If your taking a cruise accross the Atlantic, who do you want making the decisions from charting the seas to provisions/rations etc;
the passengers or the educated/trained crewmen?
Most would chose the crewmen and trained personnel— then, why on Earth do we let the passengers decide where to lead an entire country. Foolish at it's core, don't believe me... ask the Muricans who elected the other Donald. 🙄
I've been saying this my whole life, open-free-pure democracy is blatantly flawed but plays very nicely with it's best buddy— Capitalism.
Yes, Socrates knew about the potential dangers of democracy.
Thats the thing about democracy: it worked with capitalism and having citizens that took responsibility for their actions. The point is to LIMIT government control and allow the free market to operate. The government was only responsible for managing the country, not leading it.
