He’s not wrong..

What Socrates said about democracy more than 2000 years ago.
He said that demoracy must fall because it will try to tailor to everyone.
The poor will want the wealth of the rich, and democracy will give it to them.

Young people will want to be respected as elderly and democracy will give it to them.
Women will want to be like men and democracy will give it to them

Foreigners will want the rights of the natives and democracy will give it to them.

Thieves and fraudsters will want important government functions, and democracy will give it to them.

And at that time, when thieves and fraudsters finally democratically take authority because criminals and evil doers want power, there will be worse dictatorship than in the time of any monarchy or oligarchy.
Socrates (470-399 b.c.)

Our democratic champion is full steam ahead for the med.
Supported by a democratic Europe.
Same lines being wheeled out as the Iraq war. Axis of evil.
Only now it's China, Russia, Iran. Bit more of a challenge than that last axis.

Someone's been "Googling".
We don't know for sure what Socrates thought about democracy, because he never wrote anything down.
We only have the second-hand attributions, mainly from Plato.
But unchecked populism is a terrible feature of democracy.
You also can't give everything to everyone in any political solution.
Taking a presumed privilege from one group, always creates resentment.
We also all know plenty of people who aren't just interested in only themselves.

Are you advocating that the poor should be poor, that young people don't deserve respect, women shouldn't be equal and "foreigners" shouldn't have the same rights?

I'm fucking certain, that democracy isn't giving the poor the wealth of the rich.
Thieves and fraudsters - that is the rich...

Ssh! The guy's been programmed to use the word populism. Let him carry on 'unchecked'.
