| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited by Dmitry Taratorin [REGNUM] Every time humanity has entered into another crisis over the past hundred years, the question has arisen about the adequacy of democracy, about how capable this system is of coping with truly serious challenges. Democracy became a generally accepted norm even less than a hundred years ago. In fact, only after the Second World War. But democracy is not the norm at all. Democracy is a choice. Not only because its main attribute is voting, but because it is not at all the pinnacle of the evolution of “universal” political thought. On the contrary, democracy is a unique phenomenon. It was born and developed exclusively on European soil. And it was not born and developed anywhere else. |

| #3 All they had to do was leave us alone on this side of the ponds. We were dragged into WW1 and while FDR was pushing, we weren't moving till someone dragged us into another world war. Of course, now everyone bitches because the pre-Beltway gang decided that they'd try a hand in keeping the lid on everyone to avoid the first and second mistake. |

| #2 No form of government can work for ever They all work in some form or another, until the folks on the very top get greedy and start exploiting and repressing the folks lower down the rungs. |
