why is democracy the goal? democratic nations have pretty much universally profited from the plunder and destruction of poor nations.
the british empire, the french empire, the german empire, the american empire. democracy is a tool of imperialism and colonialism. when those avenues for extracting wealth fail, what's left? increasing concentration of power and wealth to the rich, privatization of public goods, right-wing extremism, and societal stagnation through a return to conservative values.
So communist democracy is the solution?
