Democracy + non-Christianity is unstable; the democracy fails. Democracy + Christianity is unstable; the mixture is a fatal poison.

Christianity did not produce Democracy. You can't blame Christianity for the Athens or Tarquin's aftermath. After Rome fell, everything was stable until Athenian texts started circulating again.

Land (and others) have suggested that full communism provokes immune response for generations. Full democracy provoked an immune response that lasted thousands of years.

I don't think it's even an immune response. I think it's blindingly obvious that democracy is a terrible idea, and it requires mass doses of hypnosis to suppress this vision.

Maintaining that level of hypnosis cannot possibly be sustainable, can it?
