U.S. Democracy?
Thus, can we conclude, no country, no regional but unified area can be spared from social convulsions when the conditions or the structure of its composite groups differ considerably. In the United States of America, for example, it was the very sanglant civil war, and the relatively mild civil rights riots and amerindian fights which came to burst early, in a relatively young nation, with a short history compared to that of France, of Spain and even of England. Nevertheless, none of these countries in terms of socio-political violence can approach Haiti where the differences between the major classes in the population are more proeminent and where the chronic political violence created anarchy.
In the far avanced ecomonically U.S., my present-day country, much has to be done again, to avoid violent futures such as leveling the social differences or rising the social standards to a point at preventing social uprisings; for example, the black and the Hispanic populations are far to equalize socio-economically with the white population and the Amerindians are still living in poor reservations.
The U.S. shall be proud of her democracy. However, shall it help other countries in achieving democracy? It is a delicate matter. In other words, shall we agree with Marquis de la Fayette, Napoleon Bonaparte, Simon Bolivar, Alexander Petion or Che Guevara, among many others? (This is an allusion to the role of the U.S. in the return of the democratically elected, but outsted by a coup, Haitian president, Jn. B. Aristide, and in its departure later in/from a country where social stability is more needed). Pejoratively, shall we export ideologies? The answer is both yes and no. Nevertheless, revolutionary ideas, like the rule of the majority and democracy, cannot be restrained, will spontaneously spread to every nation in the world and will prevail by itself at the end.
