The flaw in the Republic lies in the enfranchisement of the entitlement class.  Those who do not work are allowed to vote.  Of course they vote not only to entrench, but to increase, their forced largess… derived from the fruits of the labor and entrepreneur class(es).

A successful species breeds exponentially.  And so is the representation of the indigent in the pool of voters. 

Eventually the non-producers overwhelm the ability… and willingness… of the producers. The producers, being deprived of reward for their industry, either slow production… or depart for more favorable venues.  The non-producers find that the teats have begun to dry up.  They are being forcefully weaned… a trickle down consequence of their own indiscriminant behavior.  Lacking industry and resourcefulness, they do not understand.  They begin to fight (riot) around the common bowl.  They demand that the producers come back… go back to work… turn the tap back on.

It is too late.  The system is already crippled beyond healing. 

As Charles Darwin observed, “Many species develop bizarre traits, just before they go extinct.”

Witness what is happening in California and Illinois.

Our Republic, exactly like that of Greece, is developing bizarre traits.  WE THE PEOPLE have ignored history… past and present… and unless WE THE PEOPLE act like we are educated and connected with history… so shall befall us… THE LESSON OF GREECE.
