Western democracy was not something created over night, it was born from centuries of personal and political development. The Magna Carta was the first real seed that developed into what we have today. Without the intellectual appreciation and the inherited understanding then it becomes a pointless exercise whos only function is to replace a despot with a despotic system.

That's true. Americans in particular assume that the overthrow of one autocrat will result in democracy, as if that is a natural evolution. It is not. In fact, as history shows, most civilizations are in fact ruled by autocrats or oligarchies.
