    Yepp… I am quite sure this will be the main type of governing for the next 30-50 years world wide.

    Democratic Nations have no “edge” to show for compared with totalitarian regimes (like China). Of course there are many but they are not “popularily visible” like art and other critical disruptions to bring a society forward. But as of now: Only money counts, and here no edge is given to the tired 1D voters.
