Whoring after a false god -- totalitarianism -- is evil by any definition, Bruce. Your attempt at pseudosophistication is a profound failure. Democracy works better for any human being than any other system; those pushing some other path are pushing oppression, intending to license themselves and those like themselves as oppressors. Such enemies of humankind should be hunted down and converted permanently or shot.
When the last dictator is strangled on the guts of the last chief of secret police, how much oppression and misery will have fled the world? You've never attempted an answer to that question, rhetorical or no. I am using libertarian, with a small L, in a way you seem not to have educated yourself about -- as a general sociopolitical tendency, such as is largely done here in these United States, and was more done in past days. This libertarianism is what is expressed in the remark, "It's a free country." My point here is you don't have to be an American citizen, nor even of the native English-speaking world, to enjoy the benefits of democracy. The only thing unique to us Americans is that we're doing it first. If we can have it, surely any human can have it. This seems an idea you're reluctant to accept; I cannot see why.
