If autocratic government is a liberal ideal, why is the greatest threat
to democracy always from the right? The left has a history of
overthrowing kings, and tyrants. The right, a history of overthrowing
democracies. I've looked, but I have only been able to find 3
democracies that were overthrown by leftists, but well over 100 that were
overthrown by the right. Why is that?


Right and left are subjective to the person deciding the direction.

Hitler and Bush are both considered right wing by you, aren't they?

There is no difference between the right or left. They both want to control
other people's lives where they have no business. One side wants mob rule,
the other rule by dictator.

Whatever happened to people running their own lives?

Democracy is simply mob rule, 51% rule the other 49%. Democracy does not
guarantee freedom nor protect it.

Only Constitutional Republics can do that and only if their constitution
works on the principles that the power is derived from the people and the
constitution is an enumeration of powers delegated to the government by the
people. Powers not delegated are retained by the people. Constitutions are
used to limit governments, expand and protect individual freedoms in a non
contradictory manner.

Anything more is less freedom.
