Which values are those? Unfortunately, I would argue that England has never had values I'd agree with. What about values of privacy and civil liberties? You can't even have certain drawings (yes, even their possession is illegal) and ISP have to keep your Internet usage for a year.
Bourgeois democracy cannot protect the values of the people.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoPrivacy, freedom, protection from the tyranny of the majority, equality, fraternity, respect for minorities, socialised and universal healthcare, feminism, ecologism (firefox says this is not a word?)... Those are the ones I care about and I think are at danger.
- ue_ 10y agoDemocracy is "tyranny of the majority" no matter which way you look at it (I'm still in favour of it though). And I think equality, fraternity, respect for minorities, socialised and universal healthcare, feminism and focus on ecology would be much better served without capitalism. Why didn't you include the right to privacy and freedom of expression too?
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoDemocracy is not the tyranny of the majority. Direct democracy might be, but that's a very narrow view of democracy. > Why didn't you include the right to privacy and freedom of expression too? Privacy is literally the first one on my list :) Freedom of speech (freedom of expression seems a literal translation from Spanish "libertad de expresión" which is "freedom of speech") I agree. I just forgot about it :) I could add others like separation of powers that I also forgot (and they're under attack if you follow UK politics).
