I tend to view promiscuity and hedonism as a symptom, and not so much a cause. These are the failures of leadership and example, and the dumbing down of the average towards the fulfillment of immediate appetites and away from planning ahead and building.
Plato names the man who lives day-to-day, without purpose and satisfying every pleasure as ... Democracy.

Yes indeed, and those symptoms fit historical patterns too:

Plato puts democracy as the worst form of government and the last step before tyranny. What happened to Greece and Rome?

I don't disagree with Plato's sequence. Democracy is mob rule and mob rule precedes total chaos. Tyranny follows chaos.
The American system has been representative; I.e. a very large oligarchy. Once the electoral college and federalism is abolished and we reach pure democracy, chaos will soon follow. Imagine the chaos if the house of representatives is the supreme law of the land.

What does he regard as the best form?
