Democracy always demands we defend it. It's high time we start asking democracy what it has done to defend us.

...And, of course, 'democracy' is an abstraction - indeed, a fluid and apparently open-ended abstraction; and, as such, 'democracy' cannot be 'asked' anything or be required to make any justification; and therefore 'democracy' lacks moral responsibility for anything, and is therefore evil!

Western man created a monster with democracy - a (vague) 'system' that is 'good by definition' - a lethal combination, as we are discovering.
