New Democracy
The New Democracy
So many words written, millions of words and they tell you nothing new,
except familiar things what you know and are safe and dull as a film star
interview. If we throw into the ring the idea that democracy as we know
it is corrupt, will there not be a scream of protest after all social equality
is Italian ice cream parlour, a multitude of choices, but it is all ice cream.
Justice and we will oversee the fact that this type of freedom to vote is
being exploited, the last thing politicians, the errand boys of the elite, is
to give you freedom of choice, but they will give you the illusion that you
have got one, the Donald duck version of reality.
What if the people ruled, rather than elect someone who speaks well, and
we had the tyranny of the masses? But the idea of this is wrong because it is
about shifting power from one hand to another and the exploitation of
the individual will continue as before. Capitalism has made people hungry
to consume to be content, but we know there is a cut off point when world
riches are depleted and the old adage less is more comes it will hit us like
a boomerang because there is no more. Then perhaps we can find the true
meaning of democracy which is about sharing what we have, so no one goes
hungry and that no one swims in the stinking puddle of exploitive excesses.
