Do corrupt democracies lead to dictatorships?
Not precisely.
Dependency is the enemy of self-reliance and self-governance. Dependency produces entitlement. Entitlement leads to corruption. And corruption compels authoritarianism.
The true enemy is, therefore, a lack of self-reliance and self-governance—i.e., a lack of responsible free behavior. The dependent people must therefore accept responsibility for corruption and authoritarianism.
