People need to be ready to accept the responsibility that comes with a democracy.

You can't drag them kicking and screaming into it

You raised children?

Did they always have an "equal" voice in your home.

Or where they "ruled" until they matured enough to deal with the consequences of their "freedom".

My daughter is turning 8 and has entered the early stages of a democracy.

My 5 yr old boy is currently living under a dictatorship.

Do you have any examples of a society who has been dragged into a democracy, kicking and screaming?

Your infantilization of these poor enslaved folks who happened to be born in the wrong country is disdainful.
