Despite this sounding like some kind of demagogic propaganda, I kinda was with you until
> Lack of empathy for workers and the masses is the true cancer of democracy.
...what? This is such a incredible weird statement - like, dictators are more empathetic for the workers? You kinda propose socialism (while sounding like nobody should touch it with a ten foot pole) but not in a democratic manner? Might I point towards the EU, where the problem we're talking about is non-existent and also it's a democracy with socialist elements...?
