I didn't say that [no democracy = oppression and violence] or that [democracy = no oppression and violence]. I said that "I think it's generally believed... that democracy is (and has historically been) the best method of preventing such".

Saying that something is the least-worst option does not imply that it is the only one, or that it is a sufficient condition on its own.
