> Still did better than democracy,

I think you confuse "democracy failing" with a series of events that occurred (purely by coincidence, I am certain) around the advent of mass communications and the formalization of propaganda methodology.

I'm not sure what it is that you consider a failure anyway. "These people are doing things I hate and I am powerless to stop them because they do not listen to me because they do not have to and the solution to the problem here is to have kings that do not listen because they do not have to." In material terms, you want to keep the autocrats but stop *calling* it a democracy. I don't see any other difference and you tend to gloss over details and decline to elaborate.

Countries weren't supposed to be this big. That's all.
