> Democracy is more or less in a permanent state of crisis.
Maybe we should define democracy and state of crisis before reaching to any conclusion.
We can just as well consider human history as a graph of political crisis.
As for democracy, if we mean a system were everyone in the crowd is equal citizen and the people officially rules itself directly, there is probably no single State in the world that fits the definition.
Sociopaths have an edge to rule society as they are inclined to impose their agenda through relentless use of all the means they can think of while most people will refrain themselves from most crual actions for ethical concerns.
And of course sociopaths are going to pretend they became and remain king thanks to the will of some mighty divinity, their demiurgic actions, and their exceptional wisdom.
The appealing point for democracy is that those who have to follow the law are those who makes the law, do a feedback loop can tweak the way the society organize along the way without possibility to ignore the actual consequences of these decisions.
