We may call them democracies, but I venture to state that there are no democracies existing in the world today. What we do have is a lot of oligarchies which are labelled as 'democracies' but are in fact no such thing.
If that rich billionaire or multinational company has more political clout than you, you are not living in a democracy.
- nolok 7y agoThen in your view there has never been any real democracy, and there will never be. There will always be some people more influential than others, people like to have leaders to follow and listen to, it’s who we are.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoPeople instinctively back the leader they feel is the luckiest because there is a subconscious hope that leader's luck will bring them luck as well. This is what I believe was the biggest reason for the outcome of the last election.
