Yes, it can be wrong. For one colossal reason, that's not how you "make democracy", you idiot. You can't push on a rope. "Killing totalitarians" just makes room for the next totalitarian. Better you should learn to pull on a rope and let the people (
demos) decide (
-cracy). I leave as an exercise for the student to name "choosing a style of government for others", (hint: it's not democracy).

A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil, that good
may come of it. -William Penn, Quaker, founder of Pennsylvania (1644-1718)
Stupid hypocrite.
