Its the masses that installed democracy, a new way of emperors to wash their hands in innocence. If the masses agree, it was done to please them. If the masses disagree, it is for their better future.
Well, but the masses did not ever install 'democracy' anywhere, small groups of people did, so called 'for the better of the people' perhaps, but never truly BY the people, not even in ancient Greece...
In fact even Socrates did not
really like the concept of their democracy that much as he realized that the concept is basically flawed... inevitably resulting in a unworkable/unfair system in practice.
If the masses agree, it was done to please them. If the masses disagree, it is for their better future.
Yes, but it makes sense in way... Because just because the majority of the masses disagrees with a certain policy doesn't mean it is automatically also bad politics in general. Same thing the other way around... the majority of the people may have totally retarded ideas about how their society should be/become and therefore disagree with politics that are different...
It only goes to show that democracy in itself isn't perfect. In a way even far from it, as it doesn't really exist in the traditional meaning of 'the people decide'.. Usually it's still the (economic) elite controlling the world.
