Sometimes I think that a parody of democracy could be more dangerous than a blatant dictatorship, because that gives people an opportunity to avoid doing anything about it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you are subverting the power of government, that's a fundamentally dangerous thing to democracy.
We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.
The one indisputable reality of dictatorship is that dissent, insult, and malevolent language do not go unpunished if it is allowed at all.
In a democracy, you have to find a market niche, make sure a novel is 'interesting' and 'spectacular.' That may be the toughest censorship of all.
Democracy is an extraordinary adventure. It's difficult, full of daring and risk and danger. But it's the greatest gift we have.
There is a danger in democracy itself.
Sometimes it's better to have a benign dictator than a dumb democracy, to be honest.
Democracy may mean something more than a theoretically absolute popular government, but it assuredly cannot mean anything less.
Dictators are interesting, no?
I confess I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing.
