Not sure to what actually he's refering to but he's not wrong though. The foundation of ours "western liberal democraties" wasn't really the ideal we have today about what democracy is or even worst it wasn't either the preffered regime of a large part of the rulling classes at that time.

In order to not have an empty conversation :

I'am pretty sure you get what I mean. I can't speak in the name of the guy and since he didn't developed his point or give references I can only assume what he mean't and I can be wrong, yet the statement in itslef is not wrong.

I developed a bit more my point and gave you a reference that leads to more references if you find the subject interessting...

It's kind of ironic from you to complain about and empty conversation and do the exact same thing right after.

Can you blame me? I can’t read your mind but your opening fucking statement to me was that you don’t understand what the guy was talking about but you agree with him.

Would that make you feel confident when talking to someone who’s trying to convince you of their viewpoint.

Don’t turn your nose up at me when you’re the one who shit on the sidewalk.
