Left to their own devices there would probably be thriving democracies such as the one in Iran under Mohammed Mossadegh. The problem was that Mossadegh decided to nationalize the petroleum industry (like President Hugo Chavez is currently doing in Venezuela) so that the profits can go directly back to the people of the country. That's a no no.
