Riferimento: Is Democracy Dead?
Politically I personally favour a Democratic system although ideally that would require a vast deal of basic education and political re-education to mitigate or eliminate the nefarious effects that arose from the Enlightenment and the French Revolution onwards. Moreover, National Constitutions should be modified to include Nationalist principles that effect the legal ordering of Society.
The problem I mostly see with the discussion on Democracy in Nationalist circles is the fact that Nationalists attack Democracy for its Liberal characteristics and not for its inherent Democratic nature. Personally I can see much positive in Democracy when stripped of its Liberal connotations.
My major bone of contention with Democracy is the fact that due to the ignorance, lack of common sense, self-interest, lack of respect for traditional values and lack of rationality, the electorate is seldom the least appropriate force to decide its own destiny. To close I assert that sometimes it is better to be lead with discipline and a defined mission than having mere representatives that should theoretically follow your own will and pamper you as an elector.
