Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.

Summary

This quote suggests that although democracy allows for the selection of leaders through elections, it does not guarantee that competent individuals will always come into power. It implies that the process of choosing leaders in a democratic system can be flawed, as it may lead to the appointment of individuals who are not necessarily capable or qualified for their positions. Instead, the quote proposes that alternative systems of governance may involve the appointment of leaders by a select, potentially corrupt group.
