@comradeconventrix No, the thing with modern democracy is that everyone is entitled to vote just for being born, disregarding the educational requirements to do so. Democracy was succesful when first instituted in ancient Greece, since only an elite of intellectuals who dedicated themselves to know what they were doing voted; and since their success was tied to the success of the lower castes, they chose the best candidates for the community. If you just say "Everybody is equal and entitled to decide" you end up giving the decision to idiots easily buyable and foolable, since they're bulk.
