At least now, you can create a facade of consciousness. The header got me thinking. It must be my memory, but I can't think of one *true* democracy that was ever overthrown from the left. I can think of many, many, democracies overthrown from the right. The left has been known to overthrow kings, dictators, and other tyrants, but democracies? Help me out, there has to be at least one. Wow, this could get deep. I'm not sure there are *any* "true democracies". It all depends upon how you define a democracy. For instance, the U.S. isn't a true "democracy"...rather, it's a republic. Democracy is "rule by the majority"...and depending upon the will of majority, it's possible to *not* have property rights, freedom of expression, and freedom of religion. Can you point to any "true" democracies? If so, then perhaps I can point to an example where the democracy was overthrown by the right...and you can point to an example where it was overthrown by the left.
