Athenian democracy happened as a mean to sustain a political class oriented towards merchant talassocracy. For that the demagogues representing the merchant oligarchy vs the landowning aristocrats needed political activism from the demos.

As a result democracy simply ceased to be a useful thing when the merchant maritime oligarchy was ruined after losing the Peloponessian War.

It goes against the natural hierarchy of the universe. That never ends well

Not against human nature. It is a method of political organization that works on very small homogeneous communities and organizations. But mass democracy is not democracy anymore, it's just demagogy and veiled oligarchy.
