Many thanks to Vox Day, the Dread Ilk, the VFM, the SGers, and the rest for attention to my little review of Dr. Lama’s excellent book.
I’m not certain that democracy is definitely the worst form of government. Certainly, representative democracy is making a powerful claim to the title, and it’s true that the more the franchise expands, the worse the elected governments get. But it is certainly a lot easier to understand why the American Founding Fathers were so skeptical of the concept and determined to limit it.
This review of Dr. Fadi Lama’s book, WHY THE WEST CAN’T WIN, certainly makes it look worth reading: [Review]
There followed a healthy discussion at SG. Again, here’s hoping this is the one book that manages to wake up the still slumbering masses. My take on the GAE’s base government was that it had degenerated into a tedious balance of oligarchy and ochlocracy. But then, it’s really not a government at all anymore, merely being a satanic cult masquerading as a terrorist organization. Either way, its bad, real bad, or the worst. And thankfully, hopefully on its way out.
