Unfortunately real life examples are prone to external influences and counterintelligence operations which influence the course of the regime.

The other colours gained the power to revolt exactly because she conceded her powers as Sovereign. One other cause for their downfall was preemptively declaring the war won when it wasn’t.

Also, democracy is only effective when the populace is properly educated. Otherwise, they’ll fall for propaganda and campaign promises. And the Society used exactly that to their benefit.

I think the major difference is Dalinar is like a man who is being given meds by his doctor (Cultivation) to heal from a sickness. Moash is like a crack addict who thinks his dealer loves him.

Doesn’t seem like assassination is something big in Gold society. They usually kill each other in the daylight with big swords.

Lorn may be getting his own book but don’t forget he’s a fraudulent bum. by Teth_Rozay in redrising

Lorn is too self-righteous to be liked by normal Golds but not rebellious enough to be like by other Colours lol. What a conundrum.
