All Democracies and republics will become oligarchies, and all oligarchies will become tyrannies over time. :(
The people do not have the political will to stay in power for very long and will turn to an oligarchy for the mundane role of running a nation-state. Over time the oligarchy will decrease in size, and become corrupt. Then the nation will turn to a single ruler to end the corruption, and restore order.
COULD THIS HAPPEN TODAY?
i think so
