More From Abraham Lincoln

I am a mexican. the united states lived seventy-five years with the one party system in mexico - the pri - without batting an eyelid, never demanding democracy of mexico. democracy came because mexicans fought for democracy and made a democracy out of our history, our possibilities, our perspectives. democracy is not something that can be exported like coca-cola. it has to be bred from the inside, according to the culture, the conditions of each country.
Country Party Perspective
Democracy is never a thing done. democracy is always something that a nation must be doing. what is necessary now is one thing and one thing only, that democracy become again democracy in action, not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold.

We say that if america has entered the war to make the world safe for democracy, she must first make democracy safe in america. how else is the world to take america seriously, when democracy at home is daily being outraged, free speech suppressed, peaceable assemblies broken up by overbearing and brutal gangsters in uniform; when free press is curtailed and every independent opinion gagged? verily, poor as we are in democracy, how can we give of it to the world?

The moral case is, people say, "oh they're not ready for democracy," but that's something someone who lives in a democracy would say about someone who doesn't live in a democracy. well, if democracy is the highest form of human potential, then it can't be true for us and not for them. but, the practical case is democracies don't invade their neighbors. democracies don't traffic in child soldiers. democracies don't harbor terrorists as a state policy. so there's a reason to have more democratic states.
