Look at world history as a pie chart, right?
The entire thing

Just a tiny sliver is representative democracy.

And what happens to that tiny sliver that I'm describing, that tiny sliver always moves toward totalitarianism.
It means that the representative democracy we have, let's say, in the UK, which is pretty stressed right now in terms of freedom of speech, or in the United States, moves toward totalitarianism in that it says it starts with we pass a law.

That's the U.S.
