Why people call democracy a good thing when the Greek democracy (which inspired modern enlightenment) lasted only 200 years and Greece became more irrelevant than Suriname already 1 century before Christ?

Greek democracy inspired the Enlightenment in the same sense your yoga teacher is inspired by Buddha

The only ancient Greek state that adopted democracy was Athens.

Also "democracy" in modern day is a bad thing regardless, letting construction workers choose their populist oligarch is bound to bring trouble eventually.

So you are denying Enlightenment retards didn't try to roleplay as athenians trying to restore ''the spirit of modernity''? c'mon now.
Where do you think "Fraternity, Equality, Liberty'' was born? this was already in the greek mentality 2000 years before it was translated in europe

It is just a useful tool to rule by money alone. With the monopolisation of physical force by the state money is left as the only remaining force for the individual and Democracy is the transfer of physical fights into areas where money is the key factor (e.g. trade unions, parties, elections, publishing companies, lobby groups)

Yah rilly. Errbody knows that politburos are the only way to go!

>implying the only possible choices of government is elective oligarchy and communism

nobody likes democracy
you will learn to love the Republic

No, Greek intelligence inspired the enlightenment.

Also modern countries are plutocratic oligarchies retard.

Tell me 1 reasonable form of government other than absolute monarchy
You can't. You won't say that though because you are intellectually corrupted by democracy. You profit from a rotten system and that's why you won't criticize it. You will always find excuses to continue profiting

>Greece became more irrelevant than Suriname
This better be hyperbole

>Also modern countries are plutocratic oligarchies retard.
They are democracies. Tell me 1 reason why democracies shouldn't lead to oligarchy. You can't. Democracy is the only system which oligarchy is legal and not only legal but supported by the majority. Where are the protests against oligarchy? you are a pathetic idealist you can't see no matter how much beautiful democracy works on paper it always lead to oligarchy.
>b-but Switzerland
Switzerland only exist to serve oligarchs, their political system is irrelevant.

>absolute monarchy
>literally letting inbred brainlets have absolute authority over you
are you memeing me?

>letting inbred brainlets have absolute authority over you
what is the difference exactly?

Yeah equality and liberty for every male citizen above the age of 18.

>The only ancient Greek state that adopted democracy was Athens
Imagine being this retarded

The Athenian democracy held out in one form or another for quite some time. The last elected official that we know of in Athens was after the fall of the western empire.

democracy is fine when there are no fucking black people around

I dont think he really believs democracy is achievable, only that anu democracy that has existed in the modern era are oligarchies because they have always been ruled by representatives and bureaucrats. Above all voting has always been ab oligarchical tool as far back as ancient greece so to equate democracy with voting as many do has always been retarded. The modern era only proved that extending voting to everyone actually staiblizes oligarchies because in the era of popular sovereignty legitimacy derives from the people and so having the largest amount of people possible only legitimizes ones rule, despite the fact that elections and votes are easily bought and manipulated things

So that's why they had slaves.
