There is nothing inevitable about the expansion of democracy. Among countries with populations above one million, there were only 11 democracies in 1900, 20 in 1920 and 29 in 1974.
Only for the past quarter of a century has democracy been the world’s predominant form of government. By 1993, the number of democracies had exploded to 77—representing, for the first time in history, a majority of countries with at least one million people. By 2006, the number of democracies had ticked up to 86.

LarryDiamond Along with freedom comes responsibility. Sadly many of those US politicians for many decades have failed the citizen.
LarryDiamond Right you are. But I think democracy does not mean only electing a man or his party. It also means security of other people whether it is in country or out side the country.
LarryDiamond Trump Administration would rather have an ally with theocracy than a competitor with democracy.
LarryDiamond Democracy and communism are simply two way of living. I am confounded by how hard American try to demonise the other system that is apparently working in China. China is not the one waging war, instilling their own way of lives and standards to other people.
