by invading and destroying the weaker countries huh?
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.

hye dayah! what a nice entry..
ReplyDeleteam not going to disagree with your opinion regarding this matter. btw, how can we manage people instead of having democracy. because by having democracy, it such a way to enable masses to choose their candidate to be their representative to fulfill their needs and directly lead to the social cohesion. (maybe)
but, i couldn't see how democracy will protect the needs of the minor. because, the winner having their interest to protect their follower's need first. the minor are excluded sometimes. that's the reason lead to the falling down of the govt in one country.
having too much democracy such a way to lead the people become un-united among them because too much voices only create chaos to protect the stronger..the weaker remain as a looser then....
p/s: this is only personal opinion. correct me if i'm wrong..
thanx 4 opinion yau..wat im trying to say is democracy nowadays become one of tools to be used by those in power in ruling the state in accordance with their wills. The masses are blinded by the word-DEMOCRACY.
