At a certain point motives don't matter. Or at least they are besides the point. I can list subjects on the right and left where this applies.

I did see it and I'm pretty sympathetic with "The Purpose of a System is What It Does". I mean, it often makes people angry when you say the Constitution was a failure if you believe it was designed to restrain the federal government. But, if you believe the purpose of the Constitution was do to do what it did, it was a success.
Most conservatives love the Constitution yet it has failed to prevent the right to bear arms, free speech, and many other rights.
If I apply the statement to democracy then I would have to say that the purpose of democracy is to divide the masses and allow the elite to do what they want to do.
