When you realize democracy inevitably leads to socialism, and we install democracies

There are definitely some people that want as much of the world as possible to be completely dependent on the United States of America. It's a fricked up idea.

Democracy is when the people have a say over the economy. That is what scares conservatives. They talk about freedom and democracy but they are actually doing all they can to prevent economic democracy.

I don't see what's so wrong with the rest of the world being poor, cheaper vacations that way

While I totally understand the sentiment, the above is actually false. You're looking at too narrow a picture.

The natural order has little to do with Democracy or for that matter, Socialism.

The natural order is simple. People inevitably progress towards WANTING a dictator type government. This is the result of simple human realities.

1)Ability is not evenly distributed and, those with excellent ability are a very tiny subset of the human race.

2)#1 means that inevitably, whatever form of government you have, you will have human jealousies taking place.

3)#2 means that inevitably, someone or some group of someones will figure out how to take advantage of this popular disatisfaction.

4)After #3, it's really just a foregone conclusion that eventually, you land in a form of government that is largely totalitarian.

Leftists don't recognize that just because 51% of the people vote for something doesn't make it any less totalitarian. You'd think they'd recognize this reality given that at one point in our nation, the majority approved of slavery. I mean, from the slave's perspective, that's sorta totalitarian, don't ya think?

People don't seem to realize that many monarchs in world history were VERY popular. If put to a legit vote, they would have STILL won. And, people don't realize that many monarchs in world history rose to their position in the first place on popular sentiment.

Majority rules has no actual defense against this natural human tendency.

The process is simple and it's kind of a circle.

Freedom/liberty - begets less freedom - begets progress towards totalitarianism - begets totalitarian - begets eventual totalitarian abuse - begets freedom revolt - rinse repeat.

Well...what leads to capitalism?
