The Rouge Democracy

  Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those that have been tried (Winston Churchill). Democracy is the most destructive form of governments the civilization has offered. Democratic governments are the reason why rich get richer and poor stay poor.
  Democracy and Democrats are considered to be the most corrupt in the society. The system of Democracy is like a contract between the voters and the representatives. If any service, like the cable guy or a cleaner doesn't do their work you can terminate the contract. But in the case of Democracy the representative is voted to protect your interests. Though the contract is present the politician if not working as per the interest of it's voters the contract cannot be terminated. This is the problem why Democratic governments have no stop at what they do. The voter can not do any thing, because he is the reason because of which that fraud person is sitting on that chair.
  Democracy is the reason why organized crimes came into being. Big criminal activities depend on the authorities, and they are thriving today due to the free pass. Even freedom today has no freedom. The government claims to give us freedom but in return they give us more problems to worry. For example, politicians and their campaigns are fueled by huge corporates. Once elected these corporations can bend the laws to suck up the working class to an extent of modern day slavery. There is no going out of it. You are given no sort of freedom.
  It is said "with absolute power comes absolute corruption". This statement defines the true horror of what happens today in Democratic countries. Though other systems are bad but this system is a continuous, never ending chain of corruption. Each government comes with a mindset of the amount of corruption they need to feed their mouths. Due to that the corruption chain will never stop in Democracy.
  Democracy has gone rogue. The level of corruption needs to stop! It is destroying our community to the extent of being un-repairable. The damage will be very bad if necessary steps are not taken quickly. Corruption needs to be wiped from it's very core. The removal of such a disease is our responsibility. Democracy was our medicine for protection of freedom and now we need to cure the society from this lethal pandemic. The state does not command us! We command the state! We have rights and we are it's building blocks.

Systems: Creation and Abolishment

  Failure is inevitable, Collapse of a system, Collapse of a nation is inevitable. Each has had it's own share in the history of the world. Though failure is inevitable, it is in the system's power to control it's bubble burst. It is in the system's hand to control it's self destruction.
  To create something new destruction of it's predecessor is necessary. Wether a Nation or an idealogy, destruction for it's creation and for it's end are the true nature that has been in the cycle of the world's history.
  The world has most recently experienced a change in the systems of the world. It was before Karl Marx that Aristocrats and the nobles had the power in their hands. The "Bourgeoisie" had the power and the "Proletariats" or the underclass were in a struggle. The Industrial revolution made the division much more visible between these two types of classes. Karl Marx a German philosopher proposed a set of theories which led to revolutionize the major parts of the world. Karl Marx once said "History is nothing but a struggle between classes". Due to his theories Communism rose all around the world. Aristocratic powers declined and Revolution began.
  Karl Marx also said in faith of the Communist Revolution "Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries, Unite!"
  Thus it ended the Aristocratic reign all over the world. It not only gave the world a new, an improved system, but also gave rise to new nations. The aristocrats and wealthy businessmen in Russia were over thrown. This created a new nation The Communist Russia. The effect of Karl Marx and his ideology remained for more than a century.
  Once again there was to be a change as destruction was inevitable. Most of the west which was still struggling for Capitalism tried to pressure the Communist world. In 1960's the Communism started softening and thus on it's very grave was born Socialism. A concept which was a blend of both the Bourgeoisie and Proletarian views. Socialism thus today is more powerful than The almost dead Communism and Capitalism. Capitalism is also to be soon go for it's grave as it's successor is getting stronger day by day.
  And as I said earlier on it is in the system's hand to protect itself from the collapse. One day or the other the system will have to collapse and the people of the system for their lives to continue will have to adapt to a new system. Since the past few decades Capitalism has started losing it's control as well. The two Financial Depressions, the Wall Street crash and the the crash of stock exchanges all around the world are leading the dear system to it's inevitable collapse.

Democracy: Keeping the Spark Alive

  Democracy, a form of government in making since the ancient times. Known to be introduced in Athens, Greece in 5th century B.C. The word Democracy or demokratia in Greek means "People Power". Democracy developed as revolutions and reforms in the political systems came as time progressed.
  Democracy was first introduced in 508-507 B.C in Athens by Cleisthenes. Cleisthenes is known as "the father of Athenian Democracy" or"Direct Democracy". Later Spartans adopted the Democratic view and introduced Ranged Democracy.
  Democracy during the Ancient times was influenced most by the Roman Republic. Roman Republic, though  the first to have representative government in the West, very little of democracy was used in Rome. They used "gerrymandering" by which only the wealthy and the noble got elected. The eligibility of voting was so narrowed that very few people were allowed to vote.
  During the Middle Ages forms of elections occurred all over the known world. Though forms of elections and assemblies occurred in many places, only a few of the population were allowed to cast a vote. The famous Gopala in Bengal region of India's elections were influenced by the Hindu caste system. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was constituted by 10% of the population. On the other hand most of the medieval Europe was ruled by Feudal lords.
  During the Middle Ages the Parliament of English created a piece of mass influence which restricted the King's certain powers. The very famous Magna Carta was shape and came into being. The first ever elected parliament was of England in 1265. Great Britain after world changing revolutions like Magna Carta also became one of the oldest Democracy of the world.
  The North American colonies of English Puritans established democracy as the way of governance. These Democratic development helped in shaping the future of the Democratic and Independent Government of The United States of America.
  Many Revolutions began in Europe as the demand of liberal Democratic government increased among the people. The United States were build on the basis of Democracy. The Democracy that gave complete rights of freedom, equality and security to it's citizens. Though the citizens were as of in theory were to be given these three things, during early elections only white male landowners were allowed democratic rights.
  Centuries of protests by all kinds of people, whether white or black, or Japanese or American, they were given rights to be an equal part in establishing the country's future. The 16th American President said "Democracy is by the People, for the People, to the People". Abraham Lincoln is also the first of the many great political leaders who fought for equality of different races. He was the first person to officially end slavery in the world.
  On the other occasion Abraham Lincoln also announced his idea of Democracy saying "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of Democracy". During times Democracy developed and withstood the taunts and restrictions of the monarchs of the era. The idea prevailed through centuries and the modern form of democracy is thankful to the sacrifices of all it's ancestral forms. It developed from the father of Arthenian Democracy "Cleisthenes" in Athens in form of Direct Democracy. Today it has completely changed and turned the spark of the vision and changed into the most advancing form of government in the current century. The vision gave what it promised after all. Freedom, Equality and a sense of social and economical Security.
  Though on the other hand people like John Adams said that "Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than aristocracy or monarchy.Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide"...

(The following discussion on the growth of democracy just covers up bits of information on how time and democracy gave flame to freedom and equality. I would be glad if my readers responded through comments and shared their opinions on this form of Democracy)
