The ‘myth’ of Western-style democracy is losing its appeal even in the West (China Global Times editorial)

[Leclerc]

"The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas"

Democracy became ruling ideas because was the ideology of the richest part of planet in late 20th century.

Now that the West is in economic decline, democracy ideology is in decline too.

If someone doubles your income changing democracy for dictatorship, would you accept? A lot of people accept, e.g: all the Western expats in GCC.

Plausibly, I would. I am not terribly politically active anyway.
