although at this point in time in this discussion I think that you are prescribing far too much blame towards a system rather than the reasons why that system is corrupted.

That is maybe the biggest difference between you (and most people here), and me: I so far ended up thinking that democracy was not so much corrupted (being moved away from an ideal state), but is a corrupt system by nature, from beginning on. At least if it is used as the
modus vivendi in communities that exceed a certain size limit. In ancient Greece, the bad reputation of it did not unfold or develop over time. It was present from beginning of the use of its concept on, I understand
The corruption thing is a conclusion I came to over the past two years or so. The size limit for communities is something that is, in different forms and contexts, on my mind since much longer already. Ten years, if not more.
Anyhow, this just as a first quick reply to yours - I have not read your text so far, and just copied it into a text processor to make it easier to read. Will read it later this night, or tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to type it in - and to read mine. I did not take it as a natural thing that you would.
