The number of democratic nations around the world (Repost)
The number of democratic nations around the world is at a postwar high. As of the end of 2016, 97 of 167 countries (58%) were democracies, and only 21 (13%) were autocracies, both post-World War II records.

Thoughts on that?
Hey Thomasz, at first we need to talk about what democracy means. Even we can be lucky to live in a country like Germany I would say that the kind of democracy we are now in, is leaded by a capitalism-thought that most people fall in love with. The art of consuming things is the biggest issue about it. As long as all, so called democratic countries, are not respecting human rights like their are forced to by their laws, they are not democratic states.
