If we had a working democracy, the People would not have believed the con job that Oswald killed JFK or that he acted alone, and people like Hillary Clinton would not have had to succumb to a political process of deceit to attempt to become elected to the Presidency. We also would not need a Donald Trump to fight back and to then further the con game once in office. The American people aren't able to uphold a democracy. Not yet. Maybe never. You think it is on the rocks? Tell us when was it good? When men like JFK and MLK rose up? Yes. And they were destroyed. When was it working?

It's just a theory in History studies. How many democracies have been high functioning in history? In the past 150 years? I think the American experiment moves in fits and starts toward implementing justice by virtue of its Constitution.

By the way, your article on fear of Russian escalation to nuclear was fantastic - the quote from Lenin was so PERFECT. You obviously have a brilliant mind and should be reaching the halls of power - but they tend to be pawns of various systems - not independent thinkers. I felt sad however thinking, who am I reading this alone in my apartment? The people who work at The Council On Foreign Relations and all the think tanks, here and in the UK and EU, THEY should be reading it.

A theory of History states that dictatorship is part of a repeating cycle over the long arc of time, in reaction to disintegration of the rule of law within democracies. What do you think about that?

Disagree. Democracy is much rarer and more fragile. Sadly, the natural state of humanity without daily application of its rational facilities is dictatorship.
