Lets see what democracy got the world, in the 1790s, it gave France the reign of terror in France, in the late 1920s, it gave Germany Hitler. We can not view the world though the lens of US history.

The French demagogues, Hitler AND Charley I are all spending special time in Hell.

What's interesting is that I made a post a few months ago asking about monarchy as a much-maligned form of government. The Church of course, supported monarchy of some sort (whether a king or an emperor) for most of its history.

I think monarchy is much like democracy in that a lot of good can come from it but in the wrong hands, both are equally evil.

Hold on a sec, professor. In case it might not have caught your attention, democracy is more or less what got us to where we are today, and, since you seemed to have slept through "History of the Weimar Republic 101", Hitler came to power through a bitch's brew of intimidation, subterfuge and critical problem with the constitution, article 48, which actually worked to undermined German Democracy.
