Democracy has been exalted, especially in the west, as the greatest form of government ever invented. In some countries it has been elevated to the status of a religion, on which the citizens salvation depends.
However, when Solon, the Greek invented democracy, it was intended to placate the Plebs who had risen up against the injustices of the Patricians. Solon's idea was, if the Plebs voted for their leaders, the leaders would deveop policies to take the welfare of the Plebs into consideation. Of course, the selfishhness of the Patricians took priority over the interest of the Plebs. Today, the same is true.
Confusion
In democracratic countries a government and an opposition are elected at the same time. The opposition is to oppose the goverment. If that is not confused madness, I am Santa Claus.
However, Jesus says: "A house devided against itself cannot stand, but is brought to desolation" (Mark 3:25). Yet, what applies to a house, also applies to all the divided nations on earth. Because of devision, which leads to confusion, and every evil work (James 3:14). The world is on the path to desolation.
