People Aren't Smart Enough for Democracy to Flourish, Scientists Say | Why the Best Candidate Never Wins | Psychology | LiveScienceThe flaw in your argument is that you presume the cause of instability came from the institutions/principles of democracy, such as independence of the judiciary, freedom of association, freedom to travel, separation of powers, etc.
When the communists overthrew the current governments, wherever the country back during the Cold War, what are they going to replace the government with? Marxist principles and communist institutions, correct? Conflicts arises when there is resistance to change, whether that change came from without or within, but you cannot call democracy inappropriate for the country/people while the conflicts are on-going.
I can see that you are going to be a suck-up to the Chinese, and that is your freedom to do so, a freedom not allowed under the Chinese system anyway, but try to do it with some critical thinking, please.
the Annam race here is just simple example
pro democracy VK animals just causing the trouble as usualYet the most striking feature of this system is that, despite its limited nature, there is almost no popular clamour for change. No riots on the streets here – no one occupying Ba Dinh square demanding change. As another friend said to me, “I just don’t care”. The reason for this political apathy seems clear – Vietnam grew at almost 7 per cent last year. Its economy has been storming along at a pace only outstripped by China. Ordinary Vietnamese are doing better and better – why change a system that is manifestly delivering the goods? Perhaps the more interesting question is why the Vietnamese system is effective. Why does it not appear to be hampered by the problems that have beset the Middle East and elsewhere, where growing corruption and cronyism have contributed to economic stagnation and unemployment?
