No I haven't. Have you? Do you think the form of government or economic
structure had something to do with it being a totalitarian state?
The point I made was that simply because 50% plus 1 votes for something,
does not make it good or bad. Majority rule can be as oppressive as one
dictator. If the realization of that truth is "no-nothing", then you need to
assess your logic criteria.
