I think you miss something important if you don't compare and contrast the democracies with the nondemocracies.

And I give no credence whatsoever to conspiratorial cabals, particularly huge international ones that pull the puppet strings on everything. This kind of romanticism stumbles in that it attributes to malice what is more simply explained by stupidity -- temporary or permanent, it matters little to the turns of history.

"Conspiratorial cabals" are what enable people that are already stupid, even if it's just by believing they exist and are blessing their acts.
