Can Democracy 'go wrong'; Can Revolutions 'go wrong'?

Can Democracy 'go wrong'? Absolutely. It could very well turn into the exercise of pure 'political power' without the inclusion of the Freedom and Equality of the human being. The goal of democratic government is to insure and protect the Freedom and Equality of the Individual. Can a Revolution go wrong? Absolutely. It could easily go from a focused revolution against a particular form of Government that does not protect the Freedom and Equality of the Individual, and 'transforms' into a mere exercise of 'violence' against the 'human condition'. That 'type of Revolution' transforms into a 'political activity' that has International implications because all governments are constituted, at the Bottom, of the Many, or, the 'Peoples of the World'. In other words, a Revolution that occurs within a Nation, but does not remain in the Nation, is not really a Revolution. In general, its an exercise of 'violence' against the human condition, regardless of the Nations, 'wherein' the humans live. In different words, both sides of the 'stick' can be manipulated for the benefit of the 'Autocratic impulse' or 'attitude' towards the 'human condition'. In a Democracy, it effects the Government; in a Revolution, it effects the 'human condition' on an International scale. The Right to 'peaceably assemble' that every human being has, must remain within the Nation, where the Right is being exercised. If it 'seeps out' or is 'directed' into the International scale, it is no longer a Revolution. Of course, we now have a new 'term' for that phenomena, its called 'Terroristic' activity. If a Nation fights against another 'Nation', as a 'Nation', its called "War"; if 'People' have legitimately 'assembled for redress of grievances', within a Nation, it can be called a 'Demonstration' or, if 'sufficiently strong', a Revolution, but, if a few or many Individuals organize themselves to destroy the 'human condition', regardless of where its 'found', and, 'except for themselves', its called "terrorism". Eventually, 'terrorism' will 'self-destruct', 'within itself' because, it will 'turn against' its 'own self'. A Democracy, 'gone wrong', can be 're-defined' and re-arranged; A 'real Revolution', gone wrong, will eventually, 'find' its democratic basis; Terrorism, will eventually self-destruct from 'within', because its based on 'destruction'.
