Tell me the last time a CEO commited mass murdered, invaded a country, trampled citizen rights, siezed citizen property/taxes, killed citizens demonstrating against oppression, illegally ran unethical clinical trials on sick minorities, showed blatant disregard for humanity, and much, much more. I can come up with literally hundreds of elected officials that have commited all such crimes since 1900's, but a single CEO... nope. |
I guess you've never heard of several labor disputes in the United States where businessmen fought with, and in many cases killed laborers who were going on strike. And dont you dare try to defend their 'mule is worth more than a man' mentatily (in reference to coal mining) because they had to buy a new mule if it died but they could hire a new worker at no new cost. Or perhaps Nigeria, where labor union advocates and environmentalists (oil industry) are often executed. Or Columbia, where labor leaders who try to form unions at such places as Coca Cola plants are often assasinated.
Your hatred of democracy is stunning. Kim Jon Il calls himself president of the Democratic Republic of Korea, and he does many of these things, but he is far from an actual elected official who answers to his electorate. Same goes for Adolf Hitler and countless other examples of so called elected officials, you couldnt vote Adolf Hitler out of being the Fuhrer.
For those elected officials who actually answer to the electorate, their actions are heavily scrutinzed by the people they serve. And if their beliefs and actions migrate too far away from that of their electorate then they will no longer be in power.
How many wars in history have been fought by two democracies? The answer is none, even though there are a few pseudo-examples such as the American Civil War, though no one would call the Confederacy where only a minority were able to vote a true democracy (if you ever get into political theory you'll learn how democracies justify who has the ability to vote, such as reasoning for why minors shouldnt vote.)
