Democracy was a direct consequence of the people having access to weaponry. Go take a look at countries that historically didn't have access to weaponry and compare that to those that did . Which ones are more democratic ?
By the way , I think democracy is a shitcoin , but that is a bit spicy, unless you've read Plato's "The Republic".
"But we don't need weaponry anymore!" cry all of the good little boys and girls .
Wouldn't be so sure about that bud, might wanna read up on your history there .
