Hmmm.... but in one sense that would be pretty much the system that the modern state was developed to shift society away from; if politics is cyclical then we might expect that to happen, in a sort of analytical way. However, what then remains is the reasons that the system was regarded as politically unacceptable in the first place, surely?

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 This is the truth! Modern democracy is one of the youngest systems of governance we have. Perhaps it can even be argued that the few "anarchic" or libertarian attempts that have been made in history have lasted longer than modern western democracy? As such... it has not been as battle tested as monarchies, oligarchies, theocracies and aristocracies.
I find this to be a very interesting insight! Has our technology, culture and knowledge developed in such a way as to enable
@ChrisMayLA6 democracy? Or are their effects neutral, or could it be argued that with all the surveillance technology, nudging and marketing, that our modern knowledge actually serves to dismantle democracy and turning it into some kind of modern aristocracy?
What do you think?
