How a worst democracy is better than a smooth running military dictatorship?

well,it is really intriguing to discuss democracy and dictatorship simultanaeously.let us first take the issuse on philosophical grounds:democracy has no universally accepted definition but two components are essentially found in all of its credible definitions i.e equality and freedom;whereas dictatorship is marked with arbitrariness and haughtiness.Democracy as a system takes nations into accout while dictatorship revolves around the dictator's whims and wishes though they might at times coincide with the general welfare of public
Now we come to the practical aspect,well,it might happen that dictatorship prove more beneficial and productive than struggling democracy in a country.However,one wrong cant be rectified with another wrong.If democracy fails to deliver then there must be something wrong with the implementation of its principles.The cure of democracy is to give more democracy.Democracy is a process and it may take time to get firm roots let alone reaching the ideal stage.Let me illustrate it in an another way:We see that Islam is under attack all around due to the inefficiency and inaction of the Muslims.So who is to blame?Islam or the Muslims?The answer is quite obvious.The onus lies with the practitioners and not the system,idea or a philosophy.Same goes with democracy.So i believe that even the worst kind of democracy is better than a smooth running dictatorship.

Good analysis Asad, let me add something. In a democracy the nation has an option to change the government no matter if after half a decade if they feel like the interests of the ruling party doesn't coincide with the peoples interest but when dictatorship prevails, the only way to get rid of it is to wait for the dictator to die to pray for this to happen.

Hold on sir!

the question is how a worst democracy is better than a smooth running military dictatorship?

i wud answer that its not really a mature and analytical to assert that the worst democracy is better than a smooth running military dictatorship.

firstly lets define worst democracy and smooth running dictatorship:-
WORST DEMOCRACY: It is a total perversion of the real democracy.it has riggedly elected representative; indifferent voters; selfish and unaccountable executive and ruling political parties; corrupt judicial system; venal political,civil and bureaucratic institutions;etc.
SMOOTH RUNNING MILITARY DICTATORSHIP: It is a form of dictatorship in which a military chief is at the helm.in this system of government the judicial,civil,military and bureaucratic institutions work smoothly and are held accountable for their acts of omission and commission.the political parties are not given chance to flourish but the people may participate in the state of affairs through the system of Local Government Bodies or any other channel.

now i think that i would love to be ruled by this smooth running military dictatorship..

Question is wrong. Democracy can never be the worst. And dictatorship can never be the best.

@Samee,

I didnt get you.. I think question is right.

Democracy can be worst, infect by now we need to know if we give a glance to our history. Instead of going in any other debate, all i would say that, we are living in a country where people know what worst democracy is..

as far as the smooth Dictatorship is concerned, I would say yes, Its is better. In last 62 years, dictators have ruled bit more then so called democratic people. if we go and analyze the work and the achievements of both, we will cum up with a conclusion, where Smooth dictatorship is better then worst democracy.

My statement was crystal clear. There was no ambiguity incorporated in that. You know you are quoting a wrong example. As per your views we have democracy at present but in my opnion we do not have democracry at all. So my statement stands valid.

Who says that we have democracy at present?

And for your kind information we have not gained from military oligarchy. We have divided our nation only becuase of militaries ill organized policies. We have weakened our center. We have booked a huge loss in terms of inter province dishormoney, threat to national integration and what not. For God sake don't back this horrific phenomenon any more.

Don't take it wrong, let me make it very clear..

if its not worst democracy or so called democracy then what is it?
