Does the entire world deserve democracy?

[All Along The Watchtower]

Discuss with (insert positions here).

[Senator Incitatus]

No. What a cruelty that would be. The world is mainly good people.

[dead0man]

Many cultures are too broken to do it properly.  It's not at all a coincidence that these same cultures are bigger bigots than average and hate women too.


Every human deserves to life free in a liberal democracy, unfortunately most humans live in sh**t holes surrounded by sh**tty humans.  It was getting better and I think the overall trends are still positive, but it's nowhere near as positive as it was when you punks were born.  Whatyoudo?!

[All Along The Watchtower]

Anyone want to take a stab at a better answer?

[dead0man]

go ahead man, it's your thread

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

No one deserves that.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Democracy is something you eern throught fighting for it and protecting it. This has nothing to do with "deserving".

[AtorBoltox]

Yes, if they want it

It’s hard for countries to not be in a ****** situation, like the Honduran people have struggled to move against, if their democratic leaders are removed by coups and receive support for maintaining power from the neighbors a couple blocks over north.

Will do. Later. I procrastinate. Sorry.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Deserve? Yeah, I believe most humans are inherently good enough to "deserve" it. Ready for democracy? No, not yet.

[Grassroots]

Many do, but many have not earned it at all.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

No. What a cruelty that would be. The world is mainly good people.

[Former President tack50]

Deserve? Yeah, I believe most humans are inherently good enough to "deserve" it. Ready for democracy? No, not yet.

[°Leprechaun]

A country should vote on whether it wants democracy. So, in the sense that such a vote itself would be democratic, I support the concept for all nations, but I won't get into the question of whether anyone deserves democracy. Democracy has it's flaws, but any other system is worse.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Deserve? Yeah, I believe most humans are inherently good enough to "deserve" it. Ready for democracy? No, not yet.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Deserve? Yeah, I believe most humans are inherently good enough to "deserve" it. Ready for democracy? No, not yet.

A liberal, atomized, constitutional democracy founded in universal human rights and modern secularism is the only acceptable form of government anywhere and everywhere.

A people who can neither read nor write, whose last word is the dagger - fine material for constitutional principles!

dude!

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The entire world deserves it, for as Churchill observed others as having said, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."

However, not all parts of the world are capable of it. Even our own democracy did not arise instantly, so expecting others to immediately adopt something similar is implausible.

To guarantee the rights granted us by our Creator, presumably.

To claim that human rights are derived solely from a culturally-defined deity which comes in any of a million different forms is to surrender to particularism at best and theocracy at worst.

“Religious views are culturally-derived, but human rights are not.”
