"Democracy being born out of violence"
It appears that democracy is almost always born out of violence. That doesn't make it a bad thing.
Sadly, violence has spread religion, freedom, and communism. it appears that violence is a tool and can be used for good and for evil. (And my wife says I am always stating the obvious.)
gee, breaking the chains of oppression by kicking the posterior of evil.
Assumes violence is always bad. Written by a person who opposes the death penalty.
"It appears that democracy is almost always born out of violence. "
The only exception I can think of is Australia.
Democracy, like a just and lasting peace, basically MUST be seized by the people, from those who would deny it to them.
Why? Simple. Nature abhores a vacuum and power will flow to wherever it is not. Therefore, in the absence of freedomn and/or peace, oppression will fill the void. To achieve those goals, oppression must therefore be defeated, and oppression never goes down without a fight.
