Posted by SMAZ on Wed Dec 12 01:52:31 2012, in response to Egypt Revolts; Andrew Sullivan wonders if their "democracy" can "survive", posted by Olog-hai on Wed Dec 12 01:38:51 2012. Can Egypt's Democracy Survive?hopefully not in its current form. I hope their armed forces do a coup and offer democratic processes in bits and trickles as was done for decades in Turkey and Tunisia. Only then can we hope that decades from now, the Egyptian populace may be ready to chart their own course in a truly democratic manner. Their prevailing culture is too sick for democracy to work in 2012 and the foreseeable future. In fact, it's their prevailing culture ITSELF that IS the disease. Hopefully that can change one day as it has changed for other former toxic cultures in other nations in the past century. |
