Russia is the only democracy that’s currently working. Western countrys are wannabe democracys that are being ruled by big corporates and bank who are pushing their own imperialistic ideals onto other people even if it means by force.

1. Greece invented democracy.
2. Democracy is majority rule.
3. No Western country is ruled under the strict definition of a Democracy. There are sometimes a call for democratic votes, for such as Brexit, and even that Russian poll.
4. By-enlarge, banks are companies.
5. Companies are amoral. They only care about making a profit. With that, companies aren't imperialistic; they swear no loyalty or allegiance to any plot of land, as they'll move to whichever country will accommodate them and is more profitable. If a country turns hostile and that hostility affects the company's profits, they move.

Companies do purchase favours from politicians, but that's not a failure in democracy; that's a failure of the politician who can be brought and sold. They're people, and people are inherently flawed, and most importantly of all, bureaucratic people are wholly useless. Companies are hardly to blame either, because companies cutting each other's throats at every turn and are simply playing the game and surviving by any means necessary.

Most good politicians died 100's of years ago when they founded America. There are perhaps fewer politicians than I have finger that actually serve their constituents in a faithful manner. The rest are simply surviving; buying votes, betraying voters, and selling favour. There are flaws in a constitutional republic, namely that politicians can be brought and sold. However, the United States of America has survived longer as a freer nation than most (if not all) countries on Planet Earth.

Also, Russia is under Putin's dictatorship. You can't convince me an ex-KGB member doesn't rig the election.
