Why is democracy inherently superior?

After closer reading your post :slight_smile: I see that you seem to believe I was arguing something of that kind.

I’ll leave it to you to decide if this was due to my wording, or your reading.

I’m confident that any miscommunication was entirely my fault.

Heh. RandySpears and London Calling, if anything, you may consider it evidence for your earlier statement that this “historical tendency” is nothing but “pure coincidence.”

Maybe I thought I saw the ghost of an ulterior motive where there wasn’t one.

Well McDuff don’t you know that there is no such thing as pure coincidence? :slight_smile:

The pertinent stuff here is that to the colonized countries “christianity”, “democracy” et al may with some legitimacy be viewed as part of the same bundle. This was the major point I wanted to make.
