Um, right, it's Medieval LATIN. The modern definition of the word does not mean arguing or bickering, but it could mean arguing in a more formal sense.

Even the OP admits he meant "discord".

I believe I read some old latin from either the bible or books because I remember the word being used in that regard.

Democracy is overrated.

Dictatorships are too heavily contingent on the dictator itself and his effectiveness. It's like ancient Rome, each Emperor has the prerogative to swing the Empire in any direction, sometimes for good, often for bad. For every Marcus Aurelius, there's a Caracalla or a Nero.
