I would say that democracy reproduce it, but with some hope of
changing the bastard things when they come up.
That means that wathever the formal gobernment, the human nature
tend towards a feudal system of loyalities, towards persons and
families rather than a loyality to depersonalized institutions.
These loyalities can help or cans subvert the formal ldemocratic
regime.
That is why the democratic regimes need a form of cult to the
founders of the democracy, or else, a monarchy that embodies the
loyalities and canalize that loyality from the king to the
democratic regime sanctioned by him. For the same reason, the
republican democracies need the cult to some withened political
figures that symbolize their values.
That may or may not work. Some of these loyalities can destroy the
formal regime or, more frequently can corrupt or undermine it, so
that the formal system hides the real one, which makes use of the
formal system for their own purposes. Since this real regime is
hidden, it adopt a form of corrupt system, wheren the lawyers,
police, media etc don´t execute what the formal law tells but what
is adequeate for the hidden loyality system.
But that is not a reason to directly implement the feudal system.
democracy are not perfect, but they are the implementation of a system
which allows changes and corrections, when it works sufficiently well.
If not, it means the system is no more democratic, and we have to
start a revolution again.

Normally this last one is the real regime that operates in every so
called "democracy"

So why didn't he revolt against his own country's unelected
