•Democracy 🧾
Today, we live in a world full of democratic countries; even many dictatorships claim to be democratic. Many of us think of democracy as a good thing, but is it as good as it sounds? 🤔
One of the most famous arguments against democracy is the "Ship of State", in which Plato likens the governance of a state to the command of a ship. He argues that only people with enough knowledge should take control of the ship, not just ordinary people; so only intellectuals should have the right to vote and elect the ruler of a state. ⛴️
On the other hand, many people believe that power leads to corruption if it remains in the hands of one person or a few individuals, and democracy is the best way to prevent this from happening. 👤👤👤
What's your view on democracy? Do you think it is the best form of government? What are your reasons for or against it? 🤛🏻
