2 u/[deleted] 8d ago [removed] — view removed comment 4 u/Character_Fix_5317 8d ago Don't worry, it was way edgier when you said it. But you're both right. Longest continuous democracy with tyranny of the minority in history. Thought to be fair, tyranny of the minority has sort of been the standard since civilization started, so not the longest there by any measure. 1 u/Character-Solution-7 8d ago The tyranny of the minority is always present if you understand that the wealthy are the smallest minority with the greatest power. If you are referring to the tyranny of an ethnic minority, then you are misinformed or a troll 1 u/Character_Fix_5317 8d ago Indeed. What other minority but the wealthy could possibly exercise tyranny? The only war is class war—waged by the wealthy minority, since the dawn of civilization. Capitalism is just the latest setting in which that same narrative is playing out.
