  1. The flaw in democracy is when it includes everyone, not when it excludes some, because democracy in reality/practice is nothing more than the tyranny of the majority.

  2. Yes, the Rule of the people, but people are mostly Jews, Catholics and Muslims and those people want to be ruled according to this Law! Democracy is not that anyone can do anything that he or she likes, because those that do bad will get caught by the Law of GOD ALLAH EL SHADAI sooner or later and many of them will get punished. Also, those who do good will get rewarded by this Law of THE ONE and TURE GOD ALLAH EL SHADAI.

    I heard people saying: it is ok to go with your wife because you are democrat. If democracy is based on these principles, then away with it from my our life's.

  3. a "primary cause" for the stuff listed below – that deveolping our current democracy can stop/prohibit :
    – citizens not having any real influence – and that therefore "give up",
    – US comitting Genocides,
    – the terror-state & apartheid-state Israel not being prohibited (no sanctions etc),
    – and a lot of other stuff during the past 75 years …
    – including countries like mine (Denmark) not helping the palestinians,

    well, all this and more, is due to the fact, that something happens to politicians – in the current representative-democracy model :
    – on their way to POWER, they get corrupted, controlled, bribed, extremely selfish, and cold ,
    – and, they loose their inborn sense of empathy and "making a better world"!
    – they loose contact with the world & with normal people – they become aristocrats!

    What can we put instead :
    – well, the current democrasies is = "version 1, representative democracies"!
    – and, we now have the means to develop them, to = "version 2, direct democracies"!

    Meaning :
    – much more influence! … (from "1 vote per 4 years" to "voting each week/daily").
    – that we vote on cases (such as the current Israeli Genocide) – through an app, on daily/weekly basis…
    – => that cases such as "the terror-state Israel" will have been stopped /led in a whole other equality-based direction, long-time ago – because we, the people do oppose to terror-states !!!

    why do we oppose?: Because we are Humans, with an intact empathy !!
    – and because, that in contrast to politicians, we are not bought/bribed by AIPAC-etc. – and we have not lost our contact to other people !!

    So, we can together create a much better world!

    we just need to fight democratically, to get to this!
    – version 1 did not come easy – they had to fight Aristocracies and the Kings (/the king's soldiers .. for instance the Americans had to fight the english army).
    – version 2 will also not come easy…. – we will have to fight the politicians, that are corrupted, wants power, sits well in their power-positions, and are backed by AIPAC and the likes !!

    But, we will end with a much better democracy, and one that is dynamic !!
    – which will be a democracy, that will be able to prohibit terror-states (from developing – and the current (Israel) from doing atrocities) !!!
    – and, we will have people like Martin Luther King looking down upon us, with great proudness !!!
    – and, we will finally have "democracy" – not only "On paper", but "I.R.L." !!!

  4. This is sensational content. A similar book I read was a sensation in its own right. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

  5. Democracy is rule by the people only. You will live in a democracy when you can introduce and vote on government bills. Search Legalize Real Democracy Party and learn what democracy really looks like.
