Democracy isn't dead just yet and it isn't the reason for the downfall of the West. Savage liberalism and globalism are killing us, not democracy. There's still time to act, and if we return to the core principles of ancient Greek democracy we can survive and prosper once again. It will be tough though. Democracy the way it was invented would seem too harsh and maybe also militaristic to the generations poisoned by liberal propaganda.
But how can we return to that when there's people like Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga?
It's funny this cult about greek so called democracy... those people would have fitted perfectly in it.
Personally i think it's utopian leftism. Taking from someone unwilling is stealing even if only a cut is kept by the thieves and the rest given to some third parties.
Greek democracy was based on lies to protect the oligarchy and control the population growth.
If they build temples rather than shops... or if you see temples as a business

.
All so called greek litterature are pyschological warfare pieces.
I see all this greek cult as a big scam.
All that you have written a full description of democracy in Russia. Only what is happening in Russia has nothing to do with democracy. Before criticizing Western democracy you have to show an example of where better. Until you have no such examples all will aspire to the model that is in the West.
