Should we just let the citizens to do what they want, or do we must force a democracy on them? |

From experience, they mostly don't want it anymore in times of emergency, so it would be best to solve the emergency. |

Unless you mean a foreign state like in Iraq 2003, I don't think democracy must be forced on people. It's definitely what the masses want--even if many often don't vote--since it enables them to get what they want. Edited by starman, May 26 2018, 01:53 AM.

My grandma told me in her days, the older folks really wanted a king to come back because they were really used to a monarchy. And to force a monarchy to end was sort of a punch in the face for them. Forcing any kind of government on anyone will cause trouble. |

If the people, or enough of them, no longer want democracy, then just let it die. I can't see democracy waning in the US--where it's been long established-- unless it really screws up big time (in which case a new system is essential). I think we're seeing the beginnings of that now. |
