Until the American Republic demonstrated impressive longevity, the conventional wisdom was that democracy was inherently short lived. As soon as the masses discovered they could vote themselves rich, it would implode.
Today, we observe that if it does not fall apart immediately, the elite import cheaper votes, and then it falls apart.
The latest casualty of democracy is the Ivory Coast. According the the mainstream media, everything is just lovely on the ivory coast, now that the Ivy League graduate and World Bank Bureaucrat has been installed by international forces over the evil dictator.
Yet somehow there are lots of anecdotes of ethnic cleansing and cannibalism, and those who are owed money by the Ivory Coast government are worried because the ports are closed, the banks are closed, and the crops are rotting in the fields.
In the Ivory Coast, we see the worst possible outcome of democracy. First the top elements of the local elite imported cheap votes, then the transnational ruling elite used those imported voters as political cover to take power away from the top elements of the local elite, which process went out of control resulting in the ejection of the entire local elite – including the people who operated the farms, the banks, and the ports. In the process, the cheap imported voters physically displaced the people who built and operated those farms and ports, and in some cases, ate them.
You think that could only happen in the third world? Observe Detroit, though in Detroit they did not drop all the way to cannibalism.
What we are seeing in the Ivory Coast is an alliance of the top people (Ivy League and transnational bureaucrats) and the bottom people (Islamic illegal immigrants who have never had much contact with western civilization) displacing the middle people (farmers, bankers, and the like). Unfortunately neither the top people, nor the bottom people actually produce anything. The transnational elite, unlike the local elite that has just been replaced in the ivory coast, is parasitic and unproductive.
The Ivory Coast, where the banks are closed, the ports are closed, and the cocoa crop is rotting in untended fields, is the future of democracy. The city of Detroit is the future of democracy. Democracy collapses faster when you have blacks and/or Muslims voting, but Liverpool is starting to look a lot like Detroit. In Detroit, the two legged feral animals are entirely black, in the ivory coast, entirely Muslim, but in Liverpool, mostly white, Democracy, rather than race is the critical factor. The Ivory Coast would still be one of the most prosperous nations in Africa were it not for democracy. In the Ivory Coast, democracy means that they really do eat the rich. They have always been black, but were not eating people until the recent elections. In the US, towards the end, we will very likely see members of one voting block eating members of another voting block, just as we are now seeing on the Ivory Coast.
And in America we cannot vote our way out of this problem, due to a combination of ballot box stuffing, as in the ivory coast, and the government electing a new people, as in the Ivory Coast.
Democracy has got to go, and is going to go, and the only question is how much damage it will do when it falls, and what will replace it.
The end state of democracy is members of the winning voter blocks eating members of the defeated voter blocks as the lights go out. Democracy is not the American Republic, but the Ivory Coast.
Democracy in America started off as a republic of white property owning males, in a land where every hard working man could expect to eventually acquire property, so that most males eventually became eligible to vote. The franchise inexorably expanded, because politicians always want voters whose votes are cheaper to buy. And when there were no more cheap votes to be had by expanding the franchise, they set about importing cheap low IQ voters, the end state of this process being the Ivory Coast.
The ruling coalition of top and bottom, of ivy league and primitive savages, tends to get ever smaller at the top, and ever more inferior at the bottom, as at the top the self perpetuating elite becomes ever smaller and more detached from reality, and at the bottom, the votes it relies on get ever cheaper. Vote buying is democracy’s weakness, because the ruling elite winds up relying on the cheapest and most easily manipulated source of votes, which tend to be the worst people – people incapable of operating a civilization, a ruling underclass, as in Detroit.
The ruling coalition of Ivy league and human garbage becomes ever smaller at the top, looking down on ordinary members of the elite, such as farmers from a vast height, till for lack of numbers the top element of the coalition loses control of the bottom element of its coalition – thus in Detroit, the community organizers took over, in the Ivory Coast, the cannibals. The pretended democracy became all too horrifyingly real.
The transnational elite now have possession of the Ivory Coast banks and ports, but lack the ability to operate them. Even less can the horde of savages that they have unleashed operate them.
