Most people don't really want democracy or justice. They also don't want freedome of speech, religion, or press.
They say they do, of course, but what they really mean is that they want a say in government, they want to be judged favourably (not fairly, mind you, but favourably); they wan to be able to say, print, and believe what they like. They don't give a shit about anyone else.
