Well, from my perspective, considering we live on a mixed polarity planet, both systems can (and are) exploited for self gain, but democracy has just a few more checks and balances in place that ensure a better chance for average people to have inalienable rights that afford them some safety and security.
Remember this is planet Earth, messy business indeed.... which is why I like Churchill's quote about democracy... full of cynicism, but so far the best we have.
