Democracy is a vague description
Believe it or not, demokratia is a concept that was founded on Ancient Greece back in 5 BC, which states that “rule of the people,” can govern themselves without any class distinctions.
True democracy, does not need government according to the ancient Greek terminology, because it denotes people can hold a system without ‘class-distinction.’
If you think about the term and the meaning of democracy, to some extent, it is not that different from anarchy and stems out the same ideological branch that connects communism with other counterrevolutions.
Karl Marx holds “that socialism, or lower-phase communism, being the new society established after the overthrow of capitalism, is a transitional stage in human social evolution and will give rise to a fully communist society, in which classes and the state are no longer present.”
Before Karl Marx revolutionary ideas, Russia was already in the latter stages of a strong counter revolution that Lenin promoted to counter the bourgeoisie Class and the monarchy, as The last Russian Emperor, Nicholas II (1894–1917), was unable to prevent the events of the Russian Revolution of 1905. The birthplace of communism.
Communism detached from elitism
The problem most modern ‘political scientist don’t understand’ is that during Ancient Greece democracy was not the leading ideology, it was aristocracy, which allowed only a ‘privilege group of rulers’ to dominate any form of rule-ship under different ‘class distinctions’.
Democracy was designed to counter aristocratic rule, as communism used industrialism as a counter labor strategy to fight the monarchy and Bourgeois classes of Russia before the fall of the Zar.
Aristocracy and Imperialist-bourgeois are alike in that their ideological father derives from elitism. A natural and historical form of power that allows “those with more wealth to dominate the under-class for the greater good of both.”
The reason why democracy was resurrected from its ashes was to allow the under-class to thrive granting them an opportunity to have equal power to prevent tyrants from ruling. But communism alike democracy allows this power to concur by making “the sovereign state equally part all classes in to the same bracket without social distinction.”
Democracy and communism were similar at birth and hold many similitude’s in their humble origins, they were both ideals designed to stop elitism and counter tyranny, but the radical ends of each ideology resulted into different parallels. Some not understood completely well yet on this modern day in age.
Democracy’s pure form is Anarchy
Socialism radical brother would be communism. But democracy’s radical brother is called anarchism! Both are harmful ideologies if applied in its pure form.
Think about it, ’classes and the state not present?”, does not oppose the “rule of the people,” in fact, the ‘rule’ of the people can still run without state and classes, and that would be called transitional-Anarchy. Because absolute rule of people, is anarchy, if you just take out the party system and allow all rule-ship to advance into social-individualism.
Democracy is watered down Anarchy! because anarchy allows all people to inflict freedom giving them “equal rights” that interact with each-others lawlessness demands to stabilize their own system without a political structure.
But what is America? It claims to be a democracy, but is it really a democracy? Well think of democracy as the outside shell of an egg.
Western European countries claim also to be democratic. But the actual inner substance of their rule ship turns out to be different. If democracy is capable of substituting its own principles, then it acts more as a mask than an actual written down form of political science.
Western Europe and the U.S. claim they have democracy and in fact its partially true. They both have the outer shell of the egg, but the substance inside the egg, is much different. Think about the egg of a chicken and the egg of a penguin. They both have calcium shells, but they both grow into two different animals.
Europe’s Shell
Europe’s outer shell claims to be democratic, but its inner substance is socialistic and based historically in opposing elitism that was strangely reshaped at one point by dictatorial-ism (Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, De Gaulle..). In fact, Elitist-dictatorial-ism in Europe revived alongside the ideologies of communism, falangism, Nazism and fascism to not allow “rule ship of people”
Dictatorial-ism seems to have historically stopped elitism and molded socialism into a democratic mask made of wax.
But elites for the most part have been the preoperatory stumble block for western European nations that have given birth to democracy under enormous political turmoils shaped by radical ideologies. It has been so, since the days of the western decay of the Roman Catholic Church close to the Council of Trent from 1545 – 1563.
One could add that Roman Catholic rule was based on a mix formula of dictatorial-ism and elitism, instead of ultra-theocracy.
Funnily enough protestant-ism gave rise to positive outcomes. As thanks to the counter-reformation the once uneducated peasants had access to print innovations that allowed them to read and write, thanks to the Gutenberg bible. The English adapted Spanish colonialism apart from the exclusive supervision of Roman Catholic Church and expanded their ideology into what later would become as Industrialism 1876 – 1840. Industrialism completely eradicated the Feudal-Status of western Europe.
The truth is most countries that allowed Catholic rule to continue had to face a form of communism, and those that continued with protestant-ism gave rise to dictators.
When democracy was first heard in Europe after War World Two, only England had the continuity to follow the role model. But democracy itself is not political system in Europe, is just an ideology that surfaced from the past to make people believe, elites have disappeared from Europe and given rise to the underclass.
Socialism, not democracy is the real shell that has allowed Europe to progress. But its still used as a political weapon to give the impression of political equality.
The American shell
Americas shell is technically NOT democratic, (even though some experts claim so), and it’s not based on republicanism either. But the catch with Republicanism, is that no one really knows what it really means inside a political system other than having the“ability to vote.”
Republicanism itself was not a conservative idea, it was added with the transition of power during the age of the American reformation fighting the British Imperialist. As Anglicans, during the american Enlightenment 1715–1789, applied it to their political believes alongside with the free-masons.
The only republicanism ideology that presents itself as truly democratic is ‘where the head of the state is appointed by means other than heredity, often through elections.’ But it never states that citizens of a republic have the “power of rule” even though they might appoint a ruler. That’s a problem often overlooked by serious political scientist.
One ought to remember that the United States was founded after resisting British Imperialist rule, just alike Russia fought the bourgeois repression and in the aftermath integrated communism. The principal reason both ideologies came under the same oppressing circumstances, which is why they’re not that different when the scope is focused.
America is 99% capitalism, it is not a democracy and it only shares one basic principle of republicanism (power to vote). And the true composition of the U.S. political shell system is capitalism not democracy and the substance inside its egg is called Corporatism.
Because I believe, and said it many times, that corporatism is the radical brother of capitalism. And globalization is the “true odor” it impregnates around the globe after it leaks from U.S. corporatism.
But globalization is the modern day industrialism promoted back in the 19th century by the precepts of the British Empire. Democracy just doesn’t exist and its actually never been observed in any society.
That’s the problem with democracy, that it only works as the imaginary outer shell of any political system, because pure 100% democracy would grow a chicken in the form of Anarchism (never been observed either, and tribalism is not anarchism). As in that system, anarchy “rule of the people” works miracles without rulers because there is no structural order.
Democracy is fantizidal.
