What will come after democracy?

Question

As society is changing always. Clans, tribes kingdom, empire and all. What will be the next step after democracy and when will be?

Answer 1

Either a sort of dictatorship or anarchy-like, very loose democracy, I guess. A third option can be theocracy.

Dictatorship: It seems to me semi-democratic tyrannies (China, Saudi Arabia) work well as long as economy is ok, and Western democracies seem to go this way too. The political elit is becoming more and more separate from the society.

Anarchy: Perhaps this tendency above changes and society will be based on smaller groups (cities and their agglomerations), getting rd of the central power. I think this enables more freedom.

Theocracy: Religion is always popular, and if you take a look at Middle East countries, you'll see they usually elect a religous leader, even if they have less freedom. And many Western countries are not much less fundamental, such as Irealnd or the U. S. A.

Answer 2

Either Supremacy or Terror-acy, and it shall depend entirely on mankind to stall this process or speed it up.
