It is just craziness that a democracy has inherent in its structure the dangerous ability to allow for authoritarian parties to gain control, and as a result diminish and degrade the power of democracy to a point of nonexistence.
Authoritarianism doesn’t offer up the same kindness toward democratic parties. And right there is a clear reason to actively avoid any hint of a budding authoritarian party rule. In fact all such sprouts must be squashed, immediately being the preferred timing.
The interplay of authoritarianism and democracy is very similar to how a tumorous growth will kill its life giver. The main difference however is that authoritarianism knowingly kills its life giver.
Democracy to be a true democracy has a lazy, sluggish, lagging way about it, which many misconstrue as weak and signs of failure. Being slow and methodical is not an indication of weakness or failure. Rather it is the steady building of a constantly strengthening foundation. Democracy can realistically be considered the more thoughtful and mindful approach to a more civilized civilization.
The slowness of democracy is its success and its beauty. Much like the exquisite nature of a well established coral reef that can gently absorb and minimize the damaging effects of powerful tidal forces. All while being a thriving community of individual groups and private incorporations.
All permutations of authoritarian rule are based on division, separation, hate. Whereas advancing permutations of democracy are increasingly based upon multiplication, inclusion, love.
Simply put : hate only allows hate ; love allows all. Kinda weird, huh?
