Well being maximization. That's the business we humans are in. That's what made ups progress from uncivilized to civilized. The arrow points towards civilization even if at times, we get one step back after doing several forward.

From religion ruled to secularism. Took a lot of time to get rid of religion rules, monarchies and other anachronic ways of organzing people.

Democracy is considered by us westerners a more civilized way to maximize the well being of group of people under a certain set of circumstances.

Given a different set of circumstances, such as prevalent in China, different religions and different philosophies, democracy is not civilization for them. Singapore was not democratic and achieved good results.

What we should not do is to look at a regime that work here and trying to impose a la United States of 1950 to other people.
