democracy is not under attack, for there is no democracy.* elective oligarchy is bought by wealth, private and corporate, and a desperate class of wage slaves and unemployed see their rescue in a 'strong man,' commonly from the military. autocracy is born.
the rulers tell the descamisados, "we give you a form of democracy, you can vote for one of us at regular intervals and we take over there, deciding what to do, too hard for you."
"call it [adjective] democracy, modern and easy."
this behavior is common in human history, and the [insert lie] democracy is just the successor to religion in controlling the serfs.
but people who aspire to describing modern events, in historical context, should not be willing to swallow the 'democracy lie.' use elective oligarchy, for that is the reality.
*the swiss stumbled into a reasonable form of democracy, and have profited from it. the process was more or less random, and not easily duplicated. no on else has been so lucky.
