The writing about democrats, dictators, and republics in history
Democracy vs. dictatorship is the thing, that is many times described in history. The reason why somebody supports dictatorship is that the dictators are always winning on the battlefield. When dictators are dying the nation would many times fall in chaos, and people who were working for those people are afraid. When Joseph Stalin died in 1953 the people who were at his deathbed afraid him.
The reason was that Stalin knew everything about them, and he also knew who told the secrets of other members of the Central Bureau of the communist party to him, and who informed Stalin about the discussions, what was done, when he was not in place. But when we are looking at the thing, what is democracy and what is a dictatorship many people, who misunderstood those things.
The world is not black and white, and when we are looking at the history of Sparta and Athens. We must remember that when Sparta crushed Athens in the final moments of Peloponnesian was the city of Athens was far away from democracy and the thing is that Athens has been a good example of the state what slipped in the hands of agitators. Straight democracy the problem is that people don't think, what they are voting, and there is always people, who are not reading the text, what they are voting. In the modern world, we have no straight democracy. Our political model is called "Republic".
We have a representative democracy, which is called parliamentarian democracy, and the reason for that is that this would give the parliamentarians more time to think about laws. And the version of that thing is called "Republic". The idea is that the people would elect representatives to the parliament and if they are pleased people, that thing would bring them another season in parliament.
And that thing made it less democratic than even Spartans. So when mankind makes something, mankind makes always mistakes. When we are thinking about the Second World War, what is mentioned as the battle between two great dictators, we must realize that there were many nations, what fought against Nazis, and the Soviet Union was more democratic than the Nazi government.
Sometimes people claim that the assassins didn't murder Adolph Hitler because his resistants would think that this man was a good magnet, which would uncover his supporters. And if his henchmen would live the entire operation would be useless. The henchmen of that man would rise the nazi-government back in control, and that's why they must be also found.
The same way has been resistance acting in other nations during history, and the most famous person who met that tactics were Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), who died in India, but whose friends were also died during that campaign. The thing that Alexander lost his memory while drinking helped the work of assassins because nobody even dares to blame that man who was an absolute ruler.
In Joseph Stalin's authoritarian nation nobody was guilty of any crime when they were born, but Hitler's German person, who was born as Jew or Handicapped were killed immediately. But also in the Soviet Union or Eastern Block, the position of handicapped people was horrible.
The ideology of those nations was that people lived only for the system, and if the person is unable to work, that thing made that individual useless. But even if the dictators are winning the nation, as Macedonian (2) made to Greeks, we might remember Alexander the Great and the military success of that man, but we are forgetting, that this man died in the age of 33, and after him, Macedonian society turns to a chaotic condition.
After the death of Alexander, the Wars of Diadochi (3) just swept many things away from history. Some researchers of history have been introduced an idea that the ruling system of Macedonia was made like that it causes the war between the henchmen of Alexander or the legal king of Macedonia.
The problem was that Alexander died too young, and that man didn't have even thought to name the successor for himself, and who a normal person believes to die in the age of 33? That thing caused the civil war, which made Macedonia weak internally.
And sometimes I have thought that those Diadochi wars and the other things that ended the independence of Macedonia in the Battle of Pydna in 186 BC(4) when Macedonia lost its independence to the Roman Empire some kind of project. When I sometimes look that history, I have a strange feeling that entire Macedonia was mean to lose in history. But maybe I'm wrong.
But the state of Macedonia is one of the most interesting things in history. It was so powerful as Rome, but the greatest moment of that state faced in the rule of the young king, who died in uncertain circumstances far away from home makes always legends.
