Similar questions: Plato democracy ends tyranny 'as EU progressing towards'correct.
The EU isn't really a democracy. The EU is largely an anarchy, made up of democracies. They have little control over each other.
Which may be a problem. They can move forward, to being more integrated (in a form which would certainly be some variation on democracy) or backwards, back to anarchy. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Plato's notion of democracy always becoming tyranny is vacuous. There have been democracies for hundreds of years that haven't become tyrannies, at least not in the sense that Plato meant it. (And note that Plato didn't have the same negative connotations to "tyrant" that we do; the word just meant "king".) .
Thanks PamPerdue, The great sage was anything but 'vacuous', s 'Republic' was a Masterpiece Teaching as to what life could be about if people wanted it, I do wonder what He would have thought of the world now wherby people everywhere are heading for 'democracy' and finding it not quite to the expectancy, Here in UK we have a Monarchy that overshadows our form of 'Democracy' and have had two recent tyrant's, Thatcher and Blair and now we have the International Banksters to deal with having just 'once again' pulled the rug out from under us, I do feel you made very good points and thank you for that, we may remember that Socrates was charged, tried, found guilty and put to death under a 'democracy' for a crime that He did not commit.
