Sorry but I have to disagree with you. Anything can be imposed at the point of a gun. Anything. It just depends on the particular moral bent of the gun-pointer. Democracy did not spontaneously arise in America. We owned many, many guns and showed the King of England that we weren't shy about using them in order to build a more equitable society. Actually, I just can't think of a single example in the history of the world where Democracy has arisen spontaneously. Please enlighten me if I am wrong.

We are in complete agreement, however, on the topic of resource distribution and the devastating effects of inequity.
