Other comment addressed which countries are suited to democracy much better than I would have, I agree with that. On the US: while one could argue the US is becoming less democratic is some sense, Americans remain extremely wedded to the idea of democracy as an ideal or even a panacea. That’s what I mean when I called it a US-centric viewpoint, not all cultures share this idea or at least not to the same extreme extent. For example I think a lot of Americans were genuinely surprised that “democracy” in Russia in the 1990s failed to produce good outcomes, whereas for others from different backgrounds this was less surprising |
