I never said democracy was a good idea. I just pointed out that without it you have usually get tyranny. And that (from a societal point of view) is worse. But throw in Capitalism and that ususally ...
True, there probably are few to none. However the tried alternatives have been worse (see the Soviet union or East Germany). I don't know if there is a solution that's actually good. Some think that in a perfectly free market, corporations wouldn't grow to such sizes, but I doubt that's correct.
