About this Quote

This quote by Benito Mussolini suggests that democracy, while suitable in theory, is not constantly effective in practice. He implies that democracy is not a best system which it can be flawed in its implementation. This might be due to a range of factors, such as the impact of money in politics, the lack of education amongst the electorate, or the difficulty of accomplishing agreement among a large group of people. It might likewise be because of the truth that democracy is a relatively new kind of federal government, and that it is still evolving and being perfected. Ultimately, Mussolini's quote serves as a pointer that democracy is not a best system, which it needs consistent effort and caution to guarantee that it is working appropriately.
