Democracy, Equality, Homogeneity

Initially, Modern Democracy functions to equalize the hitherto inegalitarian: hierarchies such as Monarchies, Oligarchies, Theocracies, etc.  But, whether or not by design, it also homogenizes hitherto heterogeneous elements qua simply diverse.  Accordingly, the American Democracy becomes a 'melting pot' of various ethnicities, nationalities, etc., eventually giving rise to a melting pot in which it is included, i. e. the United Nations.  So, what begins as an experiment in collective Self-Determination eventually morphs into the apparent latter stages of a millennia-long process of the integration of the human species, a transformation reflecting the logical equivalence of Equalization and Homogenization.
