Gen X is last generation to have a widespread interest in democracy as a truly interesting idea capable of opening up new human conditions less expressive political systems cannot get to. Millennials believe/disbelieve in it as a matter of values. Z’s seem to have given up on it

I genuinely consider democracy, broadly construed, to be a strictly more expressive class of mechanisms than any other. It is like Peano arithmetic relative to say propositional logic or first order calculus. It can run programs other systems can’t.

The electoral power (democracy) followed parliamentary power which followed kingship. It's just a system that ran its course like any other. It ain't an eternal arrangement. Failure of imagination would be to avoid understanding its successor
