The concept of decentralization was hidden to Plato in his criticism of democracy, and in general all his writings on the nature of the state are a weak nonsense.

But yeah, indeed, in some terms, democracy sucks, masses as a phenomenon ain’t good at all – easy to manipulate them and you better not to equal the system to the average – better be in focus on best – that looked especially stupid in communists ideology- they say “let’s make everything equal to lower classes”… what was the result? Collapse and decay.

But for today’s democracy is okay, this system… it works more or less adequately, better than others. It is a middle link on the way to future, to much more efficient decentralized systems of social organization.
