Ancient Greeks tried all kinds of political systems and once they discovered democracy it was what led them to failure.

Only Athens had democracy. Sparta was an Oligarchy as were most of the Greek states.

Athenian democracy isn't even remotely close to modern "democracy" (i.e. jewish oligarchy)

Of course it wasn't, but it was still led to degeneration, which was pointed out even back then.
