Natalie Cranberry’s Reviews > Hamilton and Philosophy: Revolutionary Thinking > Status Update

Every revolution is comprised of individual revolutionaries who opt to act upon their dream.

Eliza Hamilton, Buddhist Master: “She is free to take things as they come simply because she realizes there ultimately is no Eliza.”

“In theory, representative democracy hamstrings Platonic tyrant and mitigates Aristotelian ones, but only if enough of its citizens participate actively and earnestly in the system. If we “take a break”, we become our own tyrants.”

“The American system, replete with its checks and balances, makes Platonic tyranny nearly impossible. Representative democracy means that tyrants can’t have it their way unless they have the votes.”

Until now, I suppose this is true.
