Why does Les Feldick say democracies are weak?
Democracies are weak because, when people dislike the government, they can fill the streets and demonstrate, and the government falls. It has no real strength and is consequently inferior. They are easily swayed by public protest and lack the strength to stand firm.
Les teaches that democracies are weak because they have no real strength and are consequently inferior. He explains that if people don't like the government, all they have to do is fill the streets and demonstrate, and down it goes. He says this in the context of Western Europe today being an enlarged democracy, and he connects the rise of the European Community to the revived Roman Empire, the ten toes, ten nations.
