Democracy


"The political systems prevailing in the world today are dictatorial systems and it is evident that they falsify genuine democracy.
...
Parliaments have been a legal barrier between the people and the exercise of authority, excluding the masses from meaningful politics and monopolizing sovereignty in their place. People are left with only a facade of democracy, manifested in long queues to cast their election ballots.
...
If parliament is formed from one party as a result of its winning an election, it becomes a parliament of the winning party and not of the people. It represents the party and not the people, and the executive power of the parliament becomes that of the victorious party and not of the people. The same is true of the parliament of proportional representation in which each party holds a number of seats proportional to their success in the popular vote. The members of the parliament represent their respective parties and not the people, and the power established by such a coalition is the power of the combined parties and not that of the people. Under such systems, the people are the victims whose votes are vied for by exploitative competing factions who dupe the people into political circuses that are outwardly noisy and frantic, but inwardly powerless and irrelevant.
...
Since the system of elected parliaments is based on propaganda to win votes, it is a demagogic system. Votes can be bought and falsified. Poor people are unable to compete in the election campaigns, and the result is that only the rich get elected.
...
The party is a contemporary form of dictatorship. It is the modern instrument of dictatorial government. The party is the rule of a part over the whole.
...
Plebiscites are a fraud against democracy. Those who vote “yes” or “no” do not, in fact, express their free will but, rather, are silenced by the modern conception of democracy as they are not allowed to say more than “yes” or “no”.

Believe it or not, many people in the world actually don't like and don't want "democracy". If they did want it, they could easily revolt and get it themselves without any other country's "help". Don't listen to the news/propaganda and think the U.S. is helping other countries: the news never mentions the giant protests AGAINST our help by the people living in those countries and always pretends that they're happy to have us there. Every country we've "helped" so far has ended up as a pillaged war zone, and we've done the pillaging. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. But let's at least be honest about it and not pretend that we (NATO) are doing a great justice to the world.
