The Importance of Discourse in Political Science

I think it's good for discourse that you're raising these questions. It's a taboo topic for most people. They say it's axiomatic that democracy is the best system and we're not even supposed to really debate that. In political theory as done by political scientists, they do just sort of take it for granted. But in philosophy, there's much more of a taste for the avant-garde and willingness to question basic assumptions.
