On Democracy

I've disparaged Democracy numerous times on this blog.

Why?

Democratic government is a contradiction in terms.  To govern is to politically restrain.  Democracy allows or excuses unrestrained political action.  Everyone who attended infantry basic training at Fort Benning (a.k.a. the Benning School For Boys) was taught that there's no such thing as an effective excuse.

The claim of Joe Biden to be democratically elected as President of the United States is complete nonsense.  The legal removal of Biden from office or his assassination won't solve the problem.  The actual problem is a culture that holds the rights of individuals in contempt.  A single removal or assassination won't solve that.  The fencing around the national capitol building and the deployment of soldiers during the "inauguration" of Joe Biden was completely unnecessary.

The legal murder of Socrates by a Democratic vote is clear evidence that the Democratic process is wrong.  The gain of political power of Adolf Hitler by a Democratic process is clear evidence that the Democratic process is wrong.
