A power hungry asshole was in charge under this "system". It will happen again. This is what always happens. Those systems do not work.

    Democracy, capitalism, communism.

    It doesn't matter how you change the rules of the game, the psychopathic mass murderers always adjust and find the way to the top.

    Oh, but it does.

    If the population is kept uneducated, poor, and fearful they don't have the energy, understanding, or organization to keep the assholes in check. It's way easier turn a country to dictatorship and/or fascism when everyone is stressed and struggling.

    There is no perfect system, but they are systems that can build a population that is at least asshole resistant.

    That's the sweet thing with democracy, you kick them out without needing a bloody revolution.

    It doesn't seem to be working in the USA now, is it? They find a way to brainwash the masses into voting for them.

    Brainwashing starts with deprivation. Those with wealth in the US have been manipulating the system into serving the wealthy at the expense of the rest of the country. It isn't an inevitability, it's a flawed underlying system and a capitalist class willing to take advantage of every opportunity to cement their own power.
