Western style democracirs are not perfect but…there is one thing we need do consider; the ability of the more established
Western democracies to renew themselves, as proven by their capacity to change the party and ideology in power. As we can see now already in the US, Italy, Sweden, the Nederlands, etc. In other countries like the UK, France, Germany the “populist” parties; (in fact they are democratic nationalists) are the largest parties and it is likely they will govern soon. Some countries like Denmark and Switzerland because of their way of governing themselves which gives citizens more power and prevents the deviation of the political and economic elites from the will of the people. Of course, it is possible democracies could go to hell because of one “genetic” flaw; they give monopoly power over policies and laws to politicians and the rich friends financing them, particularly in countries like the US, Canada, France and others, which gradually creates a gap between the people and those elected. But seems the people seem to be waking up and changing things, that is why Trump is in power. Although Trump is still controlled in some issues by big money but at least has been able to do a few important things like the massive immigration, bringing back manufacturing from China, etc. It would be better if democracies had the Swiss system that gives people final authority to nullify any policy, or law decided by the elected politicians or top bureacrats or direct the politicians to pass specific laws or policies. Furthermore, the voters initiate changes to the constitution and are the only ones who can approve any changes to the constitution. If you compare the historic stability of the US with China and other non democracies under totalitarian and authoritarian regimes; as well treat aa rule of law, respect for life and dignity, prosperity, etc., such regimes treat their own peoples not much better than submissive domestic anilmals. China is basically a neonazi regime full of resentment of democracies and delusions of suoeriority ans workd domnance. The CCP will have to be destroyed and will be by the alliance of democracies. We do not want to go back to being treated as non humans like the CCP and the Moslem Supremacists do with their own peoples.
