Hence, democracy destroys itself from within. Alas, such is human nature that democracy is not the answer - rather, the right to private property and wealth is the only way to create prosperity.

But what kind of government prevents the parasites from voting theives into office yet simultanously ensures the right to private property and wealth?

Anarchism; the only way to guarantee a right is to hold that right within you, and to encourage others to do the same; to give a man your rights in the hopes he'll do you good is to give a stranger your money in the hopes he'll spend it on you; ultimately, he only works to improve his own condition, and no one else's.

That's not to say democracy isn't useful; a democracy is perfect in some situations. For example, if three friends wanted to vote where they'd go for lunch that day, then they'd practice democracy. OTOH, if said democracy involves three friends who voted where everyone else would eat lunch that day, we can't call this democracy anymore, since the parties involved aren't participating on their own accord. Needless to say, democracy does not mix well with large government; getting an entire nation to participate is impossible, for so long as one member says, "I don't want to participate," the actions proceeding, if not an immediate redaction from the use of democracy on said scale, is in no way, shape or form democracy, but demands, oft backed with the threat of violence.
