I have no idea whatsoever the hidden meaning here.
- narag 3y agoI found it, it was "dying for democracy..." instead. The meaning? Democracy is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Humans can die for freedom. Democracy doesn't sound as such an epic thing to die for.
- IndySun 3y agoGood. Replacing 'believing' with 'dying' gives meaning to an otherwise odd maxim.
