The US is not a democracy. I'll let you figure out what it actually is.

Close...It's a representational republic.

Then, if substituting republic for democracy in your query, the answer would be no, other than if you were to include the odd fringe groups like the Communist Party USA and they did not enjoy widespread appeal to rational people.

And no, the American Civil War was not about the dissolution of "democracy."

Which brings us to the question within the question. Why would any sane person want to work to end a representational form of government to a despotic individual or group? The Marxist mantra of evolution of government into the Dicatatorship of the Proletariat as "enjoyed" by the poor souls of Russia and other Eastern European countries from 1917 to 1992 doesn't fly.

Well, I'm through feeding the troll and will take the advice I offered to Tom about the comparison of fools and which is the bigger one and demonstrate it by letting someone else throw a bone at him, if they so choose.

It's been done daily both in the Press and on tv over the last 40 years. No-one gets arrested, locked up or shot. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's no hope for you.

Or I could be very Stalinesque and have T-34 shot.
Just like he did to anyone who didn't agree with him.

Stalinism.....despotic dictators of all kinds OUT....

Benevolent "Big Nanny" IN......

I wouldn't have it any other way.......
For those that know anything of why we fight dictatorships, rejoice in the tolerant regime that the United States controls......HAPPY NEW YEAR

One more small point.....the very fact that people like this fellow have a voice at all in our society is due to the very tolerance of OUR regime.....

NO SUCH DISSENDENCE would be tolerated in Stalinist society, or other dictatorships of the same ilk.....praise the fact that you can sit on this internet and sing the joys of Stalinism.....all you will get is shouted down, rather than a Nagan bullet to the back of the head...
