What's the point of democracy if people are so easily corrupted?

Question

What is the point of any system regardless of ideology if people remain the same. Unless it is one that reflect our nature(?), and not wishful thinking that needs force to be maintained.

How much has culture or society changed us compared to our ancient ancestor?

Not in a technological sense, but in the sense of human behavior and his motivation.

Time might change us, but we seem to be far from any fundamental change to our nature(psychological, emotional, spiritual, etc.) or our biology.

sorry, english is not my 1st language.

Answer 1

NO Poiint at all!!!

GOOD Point!!!

Answer 2

So, if some people are corrupt, why do you want to take away everyones freedom. Why don't you just kick out the corrupt officials or vote for non corrupt governments

Answer 3

So just because people are corrupt and bad, we take away human rights, and put in a forceful dictatorship?

That's already been tried, and it hasn't worked too well.

Answer 4

Good people in govt get maneuvered into being compromised slowly by our controllers and then have to commit something immoral, like having an affair, that can be used to bring them in when the evil controllers want to. It's basically the Zionist doing this and they'll help you as long as you toe their line, but once you go against their instructions, like lets say they want you to go really against your principles and ethics and you don't, then they'll come out with the sexual offense you committed and you get taken out.

That's why you see a lot of good people in govt always being taken down over sexual misconduct.

Answer 5

People are corrupted easily everywhere. Communism, Marxism etc. are all plagued by the same problem, corruption. Democracy is not different.

Without some form of a system you have anarchy. Any system is better than that in my opinion.  

Answer 6

It doesn't seem like a point, but without those systems we wouldn't have the physical materials changes that humans created over the years.  

Answer 7

It's because people are so easily corrupted that democracies are less bad than other systems.

Answer 8

First of all what is a democracy? In a democracy those who qualify vote, and they vote on everything! A republic (such as the USA), representatives do most of all of the voting, and the public only votes on 'the important things'. As for ourselves, we are being given up by God too the god we have chosen (as a people), that is the devil, who is in the process of plunging us into chaos. Inflaming our bass passions is his specialty, then he turns us loose to preform his/our will on each other and ourselves. Strange how after 6000 years we still have not learned!

You know the old saying? Power corrupts,  absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Answer 9

There is no perfect political system. I'd rather have an imperfect democracy than anarchy.

Answer 10

When you think about it, we're not that much different. Yes we can "elect" government officials, but really we can only choose from two options. We the people don't even choose the candidates most of the time, we are given a select group of people to choose from, but who chose the group of people?

Humans always want someone to tell them what to do, to an extent. In times of need, we need someone to blame, and also we need either the same person, or someone else, to bring us up from the depths. If humanity has really emotionally evolved in the last few thousand years you would think mankind would not need governments to tell them what to do. Governments would then only serve as administrative vessels. In reality, however, when something goes wrong, our very first and most basic thought is: So the government is going to fix this right? We really don't care how, we just want everything to be better. Like when a kid run to their mom crying. We have not changed, only we've created an illusion for the simple-minded to believe there has been change.
