Democracy Is Dictatorship

To hear the universal propaganda, one would think that Democracy was the most recent of revealed religions. But we need to see it clearly in terms of the results of elections, even fair elections, where there are winners who are represented by Government, and where we have the losers who are disenfranchised and become powerless victims to unresponsive policies set to target and exploit them.

We see it time and time again. The new French President, What’s His Name, who isn’t even French (and neither was Napoleon …it seems that the French rather take to non-French Dictators) – with the recent transportation strike he pretended to be surprised that a great many people were almost violently opposed to his extremist programs designed to make them work more for less for the benefit of those who, receiving the benefits of the newly transferred Wealth, would now get more for doing less. He argued that he had told the Voters exactly what he would do. Well, were the Losers supposed to be happy about it? The Election was NOT a landslide, and almost half of France lost that Election. Perhaps there should be a law that only the Winners of Elections should be the victims of the New Policies. Voting NO should be enough to shield you from the Government. Its not really Democracy if half the people aren’t represented, is it?

The United States presents the best example of Democracy’s abuses. Bush, who did not even win a majority of the popular vote, who won only when the Conservatively packed Supreme Court manipulated the Electoral Vote (a vestige from the American Constitution that never trusted the vote of the Common Man but would rather elections be decided by the Party Power Brokers back in the smoky rooms). Bush announced that he would assume he had a Full Mandate to impose an extreme rightwing political agenda. He won, everyone else lost. Losers simply deserve no consideration, and in point of fact, who can argue? To him it was simple. Dictatorship always is.

But Americans are not overly fastidious when it comes to consistency, as the Right Wing argues for Winners only when it is they who win. When they don’t like the elections they see in the rest of the World, they scream that the Winners are Dictators and Terrorists, and then force the U.N. and all of America’s Allies to withdraw diplomatic recognition and impose Sanctions that destroy entire economies and societies. America claims that both Venezuela and Palestine were dictatorships, the one under democratically elected Chavez and the other under the democratically elected Hamas Party.

But really, democracy has much the same problems whether the Right Wing or the Left Wing win. In either case a great many ‘losers’ are violated of their representation.

Then we can see empirically that democracies tend to reward complete idiots. The only person in the entire world that may be any stupider than George Bush might be Hugo Chavez, that moron in Venezuela. One a Right Wing imbecile, and the other a Left Wing imbecile. The second thing they have in common is that they are both electable. I wonder what it is about stupid people that makes them so electable… I guess it is that the majority of voters are stupid and suppose they are best represented by Stupidity. Then the elections swing from Right to Left and Left to Right more or less by fad.

Or maybe not. The Right Wing believes a bit more in Self Help. The News Media does not spell it out very well, but the Right Wing wins mostly by assassination. The Nazis assassinated all of the popular Socialist Politicians, leaving an open field for the Nazi candidates. In Japan it was not organized, but crazy fanatical lieutenants were shooting all of the moderate and reasonable legislatures in their Government until only the extreme Right Wing remained. In America there was actual corporal assassination and then the Media was used to engineer character assassination. In Israel they had to shoot Rabin before the Zionists could charge off on the policy of Settling the Occupied Territories and establishing a Greater Israel.

Is Democracy really fair when the Right Wing really does shoot many more people than the Left. It is ironic that it was Mao who said that “Democracy comes out of the barrel of a gun”. Most of the bullets being fired come from the Right.

Then we have the problem of Wealthy and Powerful Corporations being willing to funnel corrupt bribes and ‘contributions’ to the Right than to the Left. Look at Germany. Hitler was a big hit among the big companies.

Well, if people would ever really vote for their own self interest, then the Left, with its advantage in sheer numbers, could perhaps make up for the deficit they have in Will to Kill and Money for Corruption that is clearly the Domain of the Fascist Right Wing. There are indeed so many more Poor People than Rich People. But then stupidity comes into play, and money directed toward Brain Washing Propaganda does indeed get what it pays for. For instance, in America more than 80% of the people who voted for George Bush, because he said he would cut ‘their’ taxes, are actually paying out more than before (as local taxation and price structures had to devolve to compensate – somebody has to Pay and if it isn’t the Rich, than it will be the Poor… more and more), and Bush only cut taxes and funneled Wealth to the smallest minority of the Super Rich (his Texas buddies in the Oil Business… their Oil has now gone up in value 300%, and that in addition to being exempted from Taxes). Oh, and this brings up a point, often used by the Propaganda Perpetrators, that Average Wealth is Going Up. What they mean is that the Total Wealth of Everybody that is divided by the number of Everybody is Going Up. They make it sound like the Average Guy is getting more money. What it really means is that they are counting Bill Gates with his 50 Billion Dollars in the same category as a Walmart Clerk who is only making Minimum Wage. Bill Gates is 20% Richer every year while the Walmart Clerk stays the same, oh, while paying twice as much for gas. When Statistics only track Poverty, we get a more realistic picture… that Poverty is expanding along in the same proportions as the trends toward Concentration of Wealth – the money going to make the Rich even Richer must be coming from somewhere. The Rich say they hate Distribution of Wealth, unless of course it is they who benefit by it.

Anyway, the stupid and victimized 80% are so stupid they still don’t know they’ve been screwed, and will likely vote Republican again. Its never said, but mostly I suppose the American Vote is mostly White against Black. As Woodrow Wilson said, Democracy resolves to Ethnic Self-Determinism. All other things being equal, Democracy will be a fight for power between competing ethnic groups or race. And those type of Political Parties are all Right Wing Extremist Nuts with guns. Hitler is not only our Past, but our future. People conveniently forget that Hitler didn’t usurp power. He was elected….well, no, not fairly, but neither was George Bush. We need to remember that Cheating also seems to be an integral part of Democracy, as we know it.

Anyway, what it comes down to is that Democracy gives us for Leaders the bought and paid for stupid survivors of continuous gun battles where Minorities can never hope to ever be represented. Not a very good Religion is it, for all of the Media Worship it receives.

This brings up another point – Media’s overwhelming support of Democracy. It might have something to do with the practical matter that every major political faction will support its own network of media outlets. For the Media democracy is simply good business. And they do not print the Truth. Like lawyers, they print what they are paid to print. Right Wing papers print Right Wing crap, and Left Wing papers print, well, the Truth, but they dumb it down a lot so that the largest number of poor uneducated idiots will go along with it. But in either case, the mendacious propaganda from the Right and the simplistic sloganeering from the Left is not exactly what we have been promised by the Free Press. Would Government Bulletins from a politically neutral Bureaucratic Meritocracy really be much worse than a Corporate or Party Media?

When will people begin to examine the possibility of setting up a Government by Law and Professional Civil Service, positions being determined by objective merit and consensus between candidates. Yes, not every profoundly intelligent person, good at taking tests, can be a practical and pragmatic administrator and statesman, but a system could be set up where, let’s say, the hundred most objectively intelligent political scientists in a Political Jurisdiction are locked into a room and are not allowed out until they select an Executive and an Executive Committee.
