A former East German I once talked to at a conference banquet opined 
that in both democratic and autocratic systems similar personality types 
will end up as leaders, but in a democracy there is a mechanism to 
remove them. With that in mind, the historical Tibetan approach of 
picking, at random, an alert looking child and educating them with the 
skills needed to be a leader, at least reduces the probability of ending 
up with a rogue individual.
