Aristotle, in his classic treatise THE POLITICS, described democratcy as the second worst form of government. Second only to tyranny. Clearly, given the current failure of democracy world wide, I think we can say he was wrong. Why? Well, it’s because our language is so deceptive. We need a new term, a new philosophical concept.
It might be better to say that, for instance in North America we have
not a democracy any more, but rather an Irre-Democracy.
This follows the same prefix syntax as, for example, a word like irregular, or irrefutable, or irrational. So it basically negates, or inverts, or reverses the meaning of the root word.
So irredemocracy — we have to practice saying that to get used to it, but that doesn’t take very long like all new words — irredemocracy is then, FALSE DEMOCRACY. A mere show. Highly distant & abstract.. highly projected, a projected REALITY SHOW, if you will. This is, of course, extremely dangerous.
It is also a complete lie.
But, one should never place blame on those who are simply doing what those who embrace brute force & power have always done; try to control the populace, the citizenry, or the ones who are, as the poem above has it,
....in the back seat.
