Extremism

Any extremism generates pain for the vast majority for the illusionary benefit of the few.

​ 
Anarchy
Remember the French Revolution at the end of the eighteen century?
Robespierre was a lawyer with good ideas and intentions. But the anarchy generated by the revolution transformed him into a monster where he ordered the killing of thousands of innocent people because they did not fit in his idea of what a “patriotic” individual is. He ended up like those he ordered killed.
 

​​Religion intolerance
When the church had the upper hand in the middle ages, they burned people on the stake for everything they considered not in line with their teachings. 

​Or in the modern days, the genocide in Rwanda - initiated by Rwandan Catholic church.

Or the one in Bosnia led by the Serbian Orthodox Church.

And any other religion is doing the same when there is no other authority to stop them.


Fascism
Led to the execution of millions of Jews.
​

Communism
 
I know about communism. And what the system was capable of was shown from the very beginning. Do you remember Gulag? In Russia.

Keep Democracy! It is not perfect, as Churchill said: “Democracy is the worst form of government except all the others.” But still the best.
