Yes I think it's interesting to realize democracy isn't the golden bullet (it isn't) but I think freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are two very important rights that should be protected in your constitution even if you're not 'democratic'. The problem is that the people have no way to overthrow or even audit their government. That's all nice and roses if the government is acting in good faith of its citizens (which people here claim is happening in singapore). But what if the next person is just totally insane? And abuses all his powers? You have no way to protect yourself from an abusive government. Which is very concerning. Maybe I'm too extreme in this? I don't know. But at least I can decide right?
