I see what you're saying, but I also think a case could be made that democracies rely on violence less than other forms. I'm assuming that solid democracies are less likely to have civil wars, international wars, or genocides, than countries that are more authoritarian. They may also have less violent crime and less use of the death penalty. Anyway, if you think "the tyranny of the majority" is bad, just wait until you see "the tyranny of the minority".
