About Democracy

What exactly is Democracy? A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.The very word Democracy originates from the Greek word δημοκρατία "rule of the people",which was coined from δῆμος "people" and κράτος, "power" or "rule" in the 5th century BCE in Athens , to indicate a form of liberal and direct political system, in which every  free citizen was obliged to participate an vote in the city council on every matter concerning the public affairs.

Some say that this is not actually a democracy as for the fact that only the free and rich could take the above decisions and the poor was used as slaves,deprived of every political right.This is actually a matter of a grater debate as if we consider our modern term of democracy we will find some shocking resemblances to the ancient world. The declaration of Independence and the birth of the ideally democratic and liberal state,the united states, was written and founded on slavery but this should be a totally different subject.  

The thing is that we all should pause momentarily this frenetic capitalistic consumerism and realize what exactly we have sacrificed in the altar of the so called free market.What is the democracy we actually live in today?

The only aspect of the democratic system that we will actually experience is the right to vote a certain representative. Other than that,we have no real part in every what so ever decision making.And who do we vote?Our right to choose in only between the aristocracy,career politicians with multi million portfolios.Does actually somebody know how much money it's required for someone to candidate in the presidential election?And if someone outside the system is elected?The solution is very simple,he becomes part of it,he is consumed and nothing changes.

What is the problem with all this rotten political status?Capitalism is alimented, and capitalism brings huge growth and wealth ,so it's actually a good thing but not for us.It is a global scam to render every free human being into an economic slave,as the ones in ancient Greece.And the funny thing is that as then, also now the system promises you your freedom.Work hard and maybe you will be one of us, free ,rich and a decision maker.So if we all are working so hard to be like this,what are we exactly now ?

And bringing wealth to international corporations is one thing ,melting every social ,political and ethical value of modern western states is an other.

Italy,one of the pillars of European economy has no had an elected government in years.Actually there have been three different prime ministers,with their own people who took over every decision making on behave of the Italian people without ever been elected by no one.Is this democracy?

Greece has been the playground for the economic elite on how much a nation can economically suffer and the experiment is still going on, trying to find the breaking point.All Greeks chose to suffer? It actually strikes me as a democratic paradox. 

The their is the war for democracy,invading foreign countries ,killing and installing the same non-democracy only to amplify profits,which is ridiculous.

So if we really could open our eyes ,see and understand what is really happening in front of us, we would be appalled, because their is no ethical system throughout the world that could support this pseudo-moralized non democracy.We have a world wide political system that must be revisited or it will collapse on it self.
