Classical theory of Democracy and its fatal consequences

"unscientific application of social sciences can be fatal to a society" This is continuation of my analysis on Democracy ( 1 , 2 ). At this point, i strongly advice you to read Schumpeter's book - 'Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy' - to understand the material of my analysis. The early section of Schumpeter's book is advanced philosophy on political economy. Reader may skip it and read the standalone section on Democracy although it's recommended to read the book in its entirety to understand the full concept of Democracy.  In last few years, intellectual curiosity drove me to research on economics and political economy. I discovered that neoclassical economic theory and Neoliberalism is a destructive doctrine. The tenets of neoclassical theory - Unfettered markets & laissez faire, arbitrariness & instrumentalism (like arbitrary debt & deficit limits), rational choice theory & rational expectations, confidence fairy, crowding out theory...

Why Trump happens? Part 1

In last several years, i have read many explanations and analysis of Trump phenomenon. Why Trump happens? There are various aspects of this question; Why people elect him?

Three traits define governance and policies of Trump regime - Delusions, stupidity and vindictiveness. And stupidity is the dominant trait. World's richest man, Elon Musk is wearing sunglasses at indoor CPAC rally and waving a chainsaw - a symbolic gesture to cut down and dismantling government - in name of efficiency.  Noah Smith wrote a long article about possible motives of Trump regime for making radical shifts to long standing policies, especially international policy. Smith made certain valid points and reasonable assumptions. At one point, he assume in his hypothesis that Trump regime (despite all the chaos) may have a definitive purpose to international policy BUT they are stupid and bungling everything. In the hypothesis, Smith says that Trump regime wants to wean of Russia from China, and focus to tackle China as arch-nemesis of US. But Trump regime is stupid and doesn't know how to do things. I have written my own theory of Trump regime and tried to elaborate stuff...
