Basic reasons why Democracy is the worst possible system

[Anonymous]

Democracy is a system in which two fools outvote one smart man, and we all know that the ratio in the benefit of the fools is much greater than just 2:1.

Plato and Socrates were both geniuses, they knew that democracy is a very flawed system.

Plato: "You see my friend the three shepherds on the hill? As long as they can outvote me and Socrates, and then makes decisions, I will not believe in democracy".

Socrates:
"Democracy will pay because they will try to reply to everyone:
- The poor will want possessions of the rich - democracy will give it to them.
- Young people will want to be respected as a man, a woman will want to be as a male, the party will want the rights of indigenous people - democracy will give it to them.
- The thieves and fraudsters will want important state functions - democracy will give it to them.
- And when thieves and fraudsters finally democratic, take power, because criminals and strive for power, there will be a worse tyranny than during any monarchy or oligarchy".

An average voter is ignorant, even Churchill admitted it.

Here is an example of some average voters:

The fact is - There are more ignorant people, than smart and intelligent people.

Also, there are more evil people, than good people, and evil people are capable of manipulating masses of ignorant people.

Naive and gullible people think that they can always "change government if they don't like it", but in democracy, that doesn't matter, crooked people will always stay in power, because most political parties are corrupted.

Even some Americans knew that, here is the quote by Mark Twain:

Democracy is basically a Tyranny of the majority.

The founding fathers of the USA knew that Democracy is not a good system:

Therefore, any kind of monarchy, or even dictatorship, is less bad than democracy.

A fair and well educated dictator or a monarch, is better than democratically elected crook (corrupted manipulator who controls masses of ignorant voters).

I know that many naive people, indoctrinated by democracy, will disagree with Socrates, Plato and Mark Twain, so here is the final quote.

Voltaire: “Almost nothing great has ever been done in the world except by the genius and firmness of a single man combating the prejudices of the multitude”.

This is just one of many reasons why democracy is the worst system as a fact:

I would rather have a fair and honest dictator or a monarch, than a democratically elected crook.

Also, there is another very interesting quote: "Democracy is the false notion that one person's ignorance is as valid as another ones knowledge".
