Oh waitβ¦maybe I misunderstand the quote lol
Or maybe not?
Thing is, I am pro democracy but against the way it is implemented, from the top all the way down to the average voter.
As Gandhi on being asked what he thought of Western civilization (ie democracy) he once replied: βIt would be a good idea.β

βIn Gandhi's hierarchy, he placed white people at the top and black people at the bottom. He asserted that Indians were secondary on the hierarchy. This division of racial identity on a hierarchical scale highlights Gandhi's racist beliefs that should not be ignored from the narrative.β
I think in that respect Churchill was just as bad if not a lot worse, but thatβs another story.
I was merely referring to democracy being a good idea if it was implemented according to its original purpose.
