The OP? GIDEON RACHMAN sounds like a western name.

Whatever democracy be, the only thing that has consistently failed is Communism. More countries are becoming democratic, or democratic form of government is becoming a norm.

Soviet style communism failed, but communism doesn't have an all agreed standard, China's is the most successful system consistently brings positive results.

About time this non sense and over hyped so called democracy should be put in its place and people minds all over the world, rewired with a software update, that it is not the best thing ever since slice and bread as it has been made out to be.

Whatever system suites a nation, according to its own internal dynamics, culture, faith and history, is the right system for that nation.

There have been different styles of Communism, almost all of them have failed or are failing. With Communist countries are seen as a threat in the democratic world, I don't see a future in Communism, unlike you, more countries switched to democracies. The Chinese system is anything but positive. We'll see in a few years the results.

India democracy is a disaster for the past 70 years and now it seems US is joining you.

China lifted over 800 million people out of poverty, unrivalled by anyone in the whole human history, if this is not positive, I don't know what is.

Democracy is not perfect but America has a strong healthy and vibrant one.

Will America's military-industrial complex allow the Occupy movement and the Communist Party of the USA to attain governorship of the country ?

Is India a true democracy ?

Imo, India was Nehru dynasty for about 40 years, until 1990s. After that a period of chaos. Then Indians are tired of Congress, overthrown them and get BJP in charge.
BJP is kind of strong ideological, Hindutva religion nationalism. Kind of dangerous and Nazi type. We will see.

Democracy or not, imo, it doesn't matter that much. India is dysfunctional and disorganized society.

It's not for the military industrial complex to allow occupy or commies or Islamists or anyone else to attain governorship.

They are a democracy, it is for the American people to decide who to vote for. They have a handful of "democratic socialists" in congress, and one in the senate who made national headlines in 2 Presidential races but lost out eventually (people didn't vote for Burny in the democratic process)

Who knows, maybe some day they will flip the system and go full socialist or something..

50 plus years of Nehru dynasty rule overall before we got sick of them.

The BJP is right wing nationalist + capitalist + pro America/west, pro business, streamline the bureaucracy, regulation cuts, strong on terror etc

The opposition is left leaning Congress + parties (some are further left), more socialist, anti America (in principle, not for stronger military ties but still pro business), a little anti Hindu identity, weak on terror and security challenges like Kashmir.

Hindutva is more cultural nationalism than religious, and those are just internal wedge issues of India concentrated in some parts. Hindutva doesn't factor in to any big policy decisions.

"CAN".....Can fail, but not yet. But we have seen countless authoritarians, dictatorships, communism, Socialism, fascism, kingdoms fail. and we have seen what happened to those and what will happen to the biggest of them all....you know what I mean?....

Western democracy is not democracy at all. It's just one man one vote. It doomed to fail. When Mass decide the fate of the nation, the nation is finished.

Real democracy is not about the procedure, but the substance.

The western model nowadays is Delegate Model of Representation. It cannot be functional properly.
The Chinese model is Trustee Model of Representation.

This is the difference. If anyone interested, please refer to Edmund Burke (1723–1792) .

The underlying assumption is that the masses can never be at a base level of intellectual capacity where they can make good governance decisions. I don’t agree with that, it is true that countries with poor education levels dont understand democracy and waste it, but the US is at a level where it’s not that big an issue.
