Athens & the Instability of Freedom

[Mannock]

The Fall of Athens (and other Greek polis) was not due to democracy (indeed, quite sui generis).
Bad example or poor explanation, the problem is that here are people with too much power (either by controlling different factions or by connections.) The rules are for everyone and when there are people above them, something is wrong.
All we build the game every day, no matter if you're the head of faction, a member or an independent. Too many people with power who believe that the game belongs to them and that's a mistake, a mistake. You can not be judge and party.
