Consider the history of Democracies. For example, the world's #1 Democracy, the USA, has waged numerous wars in the last century (WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq I, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq II, and soon Iran and Sudan, not to mention numerous others) and has extortionate tax rates and has even resorted to enslaving their population numerous times to fight for the military (and still has registration for this heinous human rights violation). The record of Democracies tends to show that they aren't actually as peaceful as we like to think they are.
Of course, that ignores that Germany had a democracy after WWI and elected Hitler and that most democracies have collapsed.
Is Hoppe right? Is Democracy a God that Failed?
