I've been having a semi-playful argument with a friend for years about "democracy". He insists the system works, it's just never implemented properly due to corruption. I tell him it's *designed* with these flaws, to *allow* corruption, therefore it's inherently broken.
there's a very good quote to use for exactly this concept: the purpose of a system is what it does. i've noticed that once you drive that in, normies default to a very weaksauce "but wouldn't it be nice..." stance that pretty much shuts them up (and lets you talk)
Another point for me, I guess.
They don't even have to go to war, they just undermine all candidates except the one who supports what they want and the country destroys itself.
