What is a democracy? In general knowledge democracy can be defined as the governmental power which gains support from the masses. Most of people on the globe support this theory and say democracy can bring freedom and wisdom towards the people. When I read and talked to some of pro-democracy supporters….i realized something that missing among them. The true and only the true….a fact of democracy. Can we achieve freedom and wisdom by only considering the masses....although we say that the minorities consideration will not be discriminated but it’s only on the theory and really hard to practice. That’s why Aristotle said democracy is mobocracy. For me democracy is just one of mechanism that allows the elites of political actors to rule the country according to their wills or only the selected masses. Democracy becomes the greatest mask to hide their ‘dirty political games’ like what happen in the so called ‘a country who supports freedom and free of speech towards their citizens’-United States of America. The land where the father of democracy was born-Abraham Lincoln and promotes his ideology of democracy-the government of the people, by the people and for the people. If the Abraham Lincoln really succeed in creating the best form of government in USA…so why the freedom leaders like Malcom X. Martin Luther King created their own history regarding the USA-DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT. Why? I really hope that the democracy supporters can answer me with brilliant answer.
To me..democracy is just a platform to allow those in power to rule the state in tyranny practices but what makes the different between the democracy government and those who practice oligarchy, monarchy or aristocracy or ‘kuku besi’. They just using the word-DEMOCRACY.
