Democracy¶
Political Science, 1265
A system of consensus which requires the losers’ consent to function. An unnecessary and problematic social construct communism will solve.
Athens was the home of ancient democracy, but the first representative assembly was held in England during the 2nd Barons’ War in 1265 by rebel leader Simon de Montfort, after he seized power from Henry III. It is the worst form of government (apart from all the others), and essentially involving 51 people in a room overruling the other 49; like 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
