The Fatal Flaws of Modern Democracy

Modern democracy, with its political campaigns, elections, and the illusion of rule by the people, has been criticized for creating a form of soft totalitarianism. While democracy is often upheld as the pinnacle of government, the reality is that it can provide cover for politicians and bureaucrats to enrich themselves at the expense of society. Instead of fostering social flourishing, democracy has led to the erosion of vital societal institutions like free markets, sound money, and strong families, questioning the true value of this form of governance.
