Voltaire agrees that humans have the right to freedom of speech.
yes the us is democratic and capitalist
Voltaire is expressing the essence of freedom of speech. If people are allowed to speak freely, they must be allowed to say not just those things that we agree with or approve of, but also to say things that we disagree with or disapprove of. Otherwise, we would be putting ourselves in the position of having a veto over what other people are allowed to say, and that is not free speech. We would not like other people to tell us what we may or may not say, and therefore, we must be equally tolerant of others.
I agree.
The reason that a democratic government lsted in the US is because most of us like it that way.

You would have to specify an issue to see if the US and Greece agree; they agree about some things and disagree about other things.
Voltaire is most known in the US for his ideas promoting freedom of speech, religious tolerance, and separation of church and state. His advocacy for individual liberties and critique of authoritarianism have influenced American political thought and the founding principles of the nation.

John Locke, Voltaire, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau significantly influenced the foundations of the U.S. government through their ideas about individual rights, liberty, and the social contract. Locke’s theories on natural rights and government by consent shaped the Declaration of Independence, emphasizing the protection of life, liberty, and property. Voltaire's advocacy for freedom of speech and religion inspired constitutional protections for civil liberties. Rousseau’s concept of the general will and popular sovereignty helped inform democratic principles and the belief in government accountability to the people.

Democracy requires an agreement at the level of the people that they will follow laws and that the people who they elect to the government will act in their best interest. The genetic issue of me vs them is also at play between the people who do the work and the educated who usually run the government. It is very difficult to achieve this ideal - during the era of the enlightenment, the US became independent and the US Constitution was written. It is a system in progress.
