Aristotle considered democracy a deviant form of a polity. His views on democracy are more negative and complex than you're making it sound, which leads me to doubt what you're saying about the rest.
Forgive me for not satisfying you with a nuanced treatise on a casual forum. Aristotle’s ultimate conclusion was that “for the average person” Democracy was the moral government.
He was not of average status. His nuance and negativity was, to my mind, self preservation driven. Nonetheless, he understood the benefits of Democracy to what we’d call “Main Street” life as obvious. He dismissed on those grounds as well, given the threat to his status. He got what it meant as an idea and agreed it would be a moral win for the public.
Ultimately I’m not writing a biography here. This isn’t rocket science and there’s little new territory to really be walked.
America of a generation ago had high taxes flooding communities with money. Now that generation is wielding a nations wealth against the next generation.
America is a lot of control freaks policing each other for compliance to sound economics and calling it freedom.
