I'll leave BigFella to do the full critique but I just couldn't walk past these ones:
Quote:
|
Democracy has brought us Hitler and Kennedy, the men responsible for the nastiest wars of the last century
|
.Seems to have forgotten about WWI.
Quote:
|
Democracy has encouraged and even caused racism, genocide, exploitation, intolerance, inequality and so forth.
|
And done more to alleviate said conditions than any other form of government as well. Unlike the alternatives, most of which actively encourage them.
and finally
Quote:
|
I certainly don’t favour monarchy, tyranny, oligarchy or any other form of government over democracy - but neither would I choose democracy over the rest!
|
So democracy is no better than tyranny? Anyone wish to argue the affirmative on this one?
