The following is a passing point of thought, not thoroughly
investigated though.
People should stop calling for democracy as the single best
political structure for all countries.
Democracy is simply and greatly affected by propaganda and
this is the primary function of political parties and election campaigns.
A considerable amount of the masses, the thoughtless masses –
and there are many in every country, – are manipulated into following a
specific political movement by social or psychological means that aren’t
logical or the results of which aren’t the best for the entity, the governing
of which is the concern (most commonly countries).
I am against monarchies because who appointed a king? What divine
right do kings and queens have and what justifies their designation as such? (This
is also questionable even in those countries where a prime minister is in
control over the political affairs and major decisions, and the power is with
the people). Being a King or Queen is just silly to me, just like being a dictator.
So I’m not saying here is that democracy is wrong, but remarking upon its
imperfections.
People are not equal. Democracy is based upon the principle
that everyone has the right to vote and equally participate in the governing
process. This means that it gives way for further imperfections, malfunction
and a weak system based on statistical variables of the people participating in
such a democracy.
Considering the simple flaws of the democratic process, that
sometimes mimics that of product/service commercials, democracy is not
something to be sought blindly and in every context. Sometimes it’s not
suitable.
