I'm not sure I get you point.

This article is very US centric and it only talks about (the obvious) flaws in the US system. Other democracies might not be perfect, but many don't have the problems mentioned there.

We could completely abolish any system of government, but cooperating in societies of thousands and millions of people would be close to impossible.
