throrrgburstwatch Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 In antiquity the only democratic City-State was Greece. Great thinkers and sages were born in Greece with their ideals of beauty, philosophy, science and freedom (ancient Egypt had much influence over Greece with its initiatory knowledge). The other cities were governed by dictators, emperors, kings and tyrants. Today, with all of democratic Europe (a movement initiated by the French Revolution), which has influenced all the Americas, the Greek ideal of democracy reappears. But there are still undemocratic countries … One day, the entire world will be democratic … Democracy, a political ideal? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not@prof_yet Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 What makes you think a country like China will become a democracy? All indicators seem to point towards them being a stable autocracy for the foreseeable future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csantamir Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think the world is moving in the opposite direction – less democracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deutsch1997bw Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 This isn't a forum for debating contemporary/historical political phenomena. There are places for those kinds of debates, and this is not one of them. krapp and izmir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
