I think Bonhoeffer was talking about people like you!
Thank you for exposing your true motives Bobby-Boy… you, Kraptkin, Scalptor, any and all other Leftists are the same when you fight for Muh Democracy!!!
The bunch of you are not REALLY “Democrats”. You’re only “Democratic” when you have a dominant political majority, 60%+ of the voting-bloc. But as soon as you enter the minority, lose the popular vote, you become violent and irrational. So your ‘loyalty’ is not really to “Democracy”.
Your loyalty is now fully exposed, as only to pure political power. That’s the only thing you are about. You don’t ACTUALLY have a means of Legitimacy. You have no real loyalty to “DEMOCRACY”. Your ethics (are lack thereof) is exposed.
You are so confused, I’m surprised you don’t pick a fight with your image in the mirror in the morning!
Democracy:
You can vote for this group of oligarchy puppets that are preselected candidates or that group of oligarchy puppets that are preselected candidates.
The options and choices are yours from voting by the same very vote commissioners we control.
Nevermind the political candidates themselves we picked out well in advance by our own vigorous screening or filtering beforehand. Every single one of them is on our financial dole well placed within our pockets, bribery and blackmail is our game. Now, get out there and vote!
This is democracy, the best government political system ever devised, it doesn’t get any much better than this!

K: and we have another one who trashes democracy without
giving us any other alternative or choices… why don’t you
compare or contrast a dictatorship to democracy or another
form of authoritarian government… Nah, that
interferes with the usual, lazy trashing of democracy…
because one can never be lazy enough to trash the
best form of government because it interferes with
one’s preestablished biases…

What about Renaissance Florentine rule? That was just the rule of a single family. Yet produced arguably the greatest artists the world has known. And what about the great German composers? Bach, arguably the greatest of all musicians, even attributed a symphony to his emperor, whom he seems to have adored.
I would agree that ideological dictatorships like fascisms appeal to a poverty of the spirit. The blandness of ideology stands in the way.
Aristocracies, monarchies, and democracies have often produced good art. Even though that is of course not objective. Your example of Russian writers doesn’t speak for democracy, the Czars rule wasn’t democratic.
