I wouldn't talk about a great triumph for democracy as a way to describe this.

No matter what I talk about, I always get back to baseball.

Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

Democracy is the triumph of the perception of freedom over the reality of bondage.

This was huge, there is no other way to describe it.

Communism is not the opposite of democracy. Communism and capitalism are economic systems. Democracy and totalitarianism are political systems. There are democratic communists and totalitarian capitalists.
