A few months back I found a video that explained the Greek origins of Democracy and how the deep state cabal uses a specific definition while portraying Mainstream idealized version of Democracy. The jist was their definition only includes democracy for a very select limited elite, it has nothing to do with the majority of populous.
Anyone ever hear of this before?
This is correct. It was only the aristocracy that had the privilege of voting in the Athenian democracy. One, but hardly the most glaring, problem that sparked Socrates’ criticism of the system, and Plato to offer the Republican system in his dialogues as an alternative.
However, all systems will fail without a virtuous society.
This is the closest to what I can recall.
