True democracy will always fail because you let the uneducated make decisions that forcefully impose the will of their often stupid decisions on the entire population.  What we need is a  small government where the only role of government is protecting the natural rights of all people in the state (defined in a constitution), protected by a republic, where only the educated can vote for officials responsible for protecting the rights of citizens.  Tyrants love democracy because their will can be imposed by manipulating the uneducated.
