Is the East ready for democracy?

[Stronk Serb]

I mean all authoritarian countries from Belarus to Japan. Look at Russia for instance, despotic Grand Princes, despotic Tsars, a possible socialist state ruined in a war by capitalist countries, and what you know, more oppression and after everyone thought it was all over, BAM! Putin went in. North Korea also. Instead of a monarch who knows his manners, they got three generations of fascist rapists. Serbia also isn't ready. We are on the verge of becoming a capitalist-fascist-national socialist dictatorship.

It will take time, but it will indeed come, the thing is that when you introduce western gimmicks to the east it doesn't turn out that well. But hey, having one powerful man isn't that bad in certain countries like Russia, I'd rather be ruled by one lion than by two hundred rats.

What is this mutant you speak of?

What is this mutant you speak of?

Fascist Italy + Nazi Germany + the USA.

Well, first step is getting rid of the radical Islamists and the nuclear power crazies.

No, I think the first step is making people aware that they don't have to live like this, that they can make a change, that they can choose how to live their life.

Are you saying America is a facist state?

Maybe if King Barack I had his way.

No, but Serbia resembles the USA, it is essentialy ruled by tycoons, politician scum which acts kinda like Hitler and Mussolini, minus mass genocide. The latter two are only meant for Serbia, you have a long way to go that far right. Still, it wouldn't surprise me if the uS evolved into a fascist state or a fascist monarchy, like pre WWII Yugoslavia.

the problem is the west is always ready to force democracy on others.

[SecretlyKnown]

It will slowly be injected then rapidly spread.

[hockeyfan]

It would b a smart move. But not in their oppinion.

[sqishy]

It would be great if they were ready.

The west is putting too much pressure on them and is forcing the east's democratization at a dangerous level. The west needs to let go and let eastern nations forge there own style of democracy. But before the east can become more democratic, they have to have an well-educated populace, technological advancements, decentralization and to start a dynamic economy first.

However, sometimes a ruthless dictatorship can lead to an even more beautiful democracy. Just look at Japan, for example.
