Democracy at its root is the most desired form of government that Greek philosophers and thinkers could come up with as democracy guarantees basic freedoms as opposed to tyrannical governments that may oppress citizens both financially, legislatively and in some cases even culturally and religiously.

So normally democracy is the desired standard form of government however when democracy becomes immoral and degenerate, when democracy begins to advocate for gay rights, transgender kids, pedophilia and abortion that’s when democracy begins to be hated by the people.

These may be perceived as rights for people with some desires by a democracy but if such clear immoral desires are being granted, then why not go ahead and allow all of them including incest, polygamy and bestiality? Why selectively allow only some depravity and not all of it?

You the reader, don’t get the wrong idea, that’s not what we want, in fact we want NONE of these things to be allowed by democracies but we are trying to make a case for when democracy goes wrong and why people are starting to hate it.

Corporate Democracy results in a uncontrolled and undemocratic Mafia

Another problem in democracy is when it allows corporations to become mega rich, as rich as having a corporation richer than some foreign countries, that’s when democracy goes wrong.

Those corporations become basically countries within countries as they have their own agendas sometimes to make more cash with little regards for morality or even legality. Those corporations would do anything to fulfill their agendas. Sometimes however their agendas are not even about more profits but strictly political and ideological.

Take Google and Youtube for example. It would be in their best interest to have and keep as many users as possible for higher views and profits regardless of the user’s ideology yet that is not the case, they ban millions of users permanently from their Google Adsense platform based on political views thus prioritizing ideology over profits.

A corporation scheming to make more profits is bad in itself yet a corporation scheming to change the way people think and trying to reeducate them is the very rot of democracy and democracies aren’t regulating these “states within states” corporations. They offer corporations the same freedoms that they offer a normal average citizen.

This all sounds nice in theory but what do you do when you have an average civilian trying to battle a multi billionaire corporation in court for example? The average citizen will have an average lawyer battling an army of multi-millionaire lawyers. On top of that you add the risk of that giant corporation bribing the judge and the jury and you will have an injustice, corrupt system in no time. What? You think no judge was ever bribed? Assumptions, assumptions….. why would anyone assume such a thing?

Corporationism is a severe rot of democracy. It must be addressed and wealth accumulation must be capped. Profits over a specific amount should be confiscated by the state and redistributed to the poor or simply spent in the infrastructure of the country. Why would a corporation or an individual need to own hundreds of billions of dollars? Such wealthy people and corporations will always pay politicians even out in the open branded as “campaign donations” while in any sane society they would be called as they are, bribery.

Such people will have immense powers as they will pay to get their agendas done and you go out and vote like a fool believing in democracy and that the person you elected will do what it promised during the campaign yet that person will suck millions of dollars in a second and give up on everything they promised. This is why the idea of Trump got so popular as many people though that since he is a billionaire he won’t need money… Problem is your vote means nothing as politicians will end up forming a mafia with the rich, doing their will and you will have unelected people ruling ever you, thus democracy is also fake because the people you vote for will not matter, only the rich matter. Of course there are solutions for this, ban any form of donations to politicians both during the campaign and while in office. Let them be considered bribery and highly illegal.

You can have a dictatorship without capitalism and you can have a dictatorship with capitalism like in China but you can’t have a democracy without capitalism and free market society. Capitalism is part of democracy as democracy provides freedoms and rights including the freedom to private property, be a merchant, make your own store and earn a lot of money. The problem with this is again capping. No man should become richer than a country. When the Greeks invented democracy surely they didn’t think of such situations as back then there wasn’t this thing known as a chain of stores or a brand producer of something. Democracy and freedoms for merchants was meant for the small scale merchants not for the huge multi-billionaire corporations. If they knew, surely they would have put some limitations in the doctrine of democracy.

Then comes the issue of censorship. Censorship is becoming more and more acceptable in democracies worldwide. You can’t criticize this, you can’t criticize that. No bad talking about Muslims because you hurt their feelings, no bad talking about gays because you hurt their feelings, no bad talking about COVID because you spread misinformation, no bad talking about the vaccine because you spread misinformation, no mentioning of letter Z more recently because you support the war, no this, no that, way too often we’re hearing the word NO in democracy. In our democracy, censorship of any kind should be outlawed. Politicians trying to legalize and normalize censorship should be jailed. It should be included in the constitution that any politician, citizen or corporation trying to censor the speech of others must be jailed. Your hand mustn’t be allowed to cover another human being’s mouth. That other person’s mouth who you are trying to cover is not your property nor below you. You have equal rights thus equal speech no matter you find his speech offensive to your ears. Support for censorship was taken over from dictatorships such as communism and it should have no place in a real democracy. People are beginning to see these things, get angry and wonder, well if I’m being censored in democracy the same way I’m censored in a dictatorship then what’s my benefit? Why should I continue to support democracy?

The severe issue of Copy-Paste Democracy by Poor Countries

Another major flaw in the functionality of democracy is the copy-paste model. Many 3rd world impoverished countries try to copy-paste the exact same model of democracy from successful 1st world nations and try to implement them in their countries, falsely believing it would result in the same richness.

This is one of the biggest mistakes these poor countries can make because each country has its own problems and you can’t copy-paste the exact same democracy from USA into Ukraine for example because the problems Ukraine has aren’t the same problems with US problems. For example in Ukraine there are villages with no running water, no sewage system, no electricity and no gas.

There aren’t such villages in the US. The US democratic system doesn’t include connecting villages to these utilities as they do not have this problem, so copy-pasting the same exact democracy into Ukraine would result in disaster as US democracy does not include the resolving of such issues because they do not have such issues.

Another result of copy-paste democracy is what we discussed in the beginning of the article, homosexuality and transgender kids. They want to push these things in Ukraine. Well this is impossible. Again Ukraine doesn’t have the problems America has. America is mostly atheist or heretic evangelicals. Ukraine is Orthodox, belonging to the original apostolic church of Christ. You can do such things in the US but not in Ukraine.

In the US they want to consume less pork as they have many Jews and Muslims. Take McDonalds or KFC for example, none of them serve any pork products, only beef, chicken and fish but again, the problems US has, Ukraine doesn’t have. You can’t expect all countries to build wind turbines for example for your green energy masterplans just because you have strong winds in central US. Maybe in Ukraine for example aren’t such strong winds! Maybe they have more rivers, let them build hydropower plants instead.

Just because you have 40% taxes for example on pensions, you can’t expect other countries to tax the same. Maybe their pension is already too small. Just because you are not building more apartment buildings in the US because you allow private corporations to build them you can’t do the same in Ukraine for example. Maybe there isn’t such a corporation there with enough money to buy cranes and all the necessary equipment and start building.

There are many such examples. The problem is that US democracy, German democracy, French democracy, UK democracy, can’t be copy-pasted into 3rd world countries like India for example and then expect India to flourish and prosper and everyone begin to have a $2000-3000/month salary. The problems that India has are not the problems that USA has. India has 5 times more mouths to feed, India has dry seasons when agriculture stagnates.

Unfair trade, inequality and massive poverty mostly caused by Copy-Paste type of democracy

Copy-paste democracy is the biggest disaster and has the heavies impact on these countries. Look at Eastern European countries as another example. They switched to democracy for 30 years now yet their salaries are about €300 euros a month while Germans earn about €3000 a month. They joined the EU yet the EU resulted in a total disaster for them as they have closed all their factories and began to import everything from West EU states. It’s not enough that they were poor already, but now they basically send their cash to Germany to buy German cheese or chocolate for example. So Germany gets additional cash from East EU states. Instead of being the other way around, Western Europe buying from the East to sustain and equalize their economy, no Eastern EU states barely export anything at all to Western EU states so it’s the West sucking up cash from the East while the East complies because of “democracy”.

The European Union is probably the best example that we can give as to why copy-paste democracy is a total disaster. Normally the salary in West EU states should be no different to the salary in East EU states. It is absurd that they are different. It’s as if you earn more in West US vs East US. Well isn’t it one country? The EU isn’t one country yet it behaves like one country, it has no borders in the Schengen area, it has one capital and one parliament in Brussels, it has one currency, the euro, a central bank and many other things which make it look exactly like one country with states so wouldn’t it be normal to have an equal economy in all regions of the “country”? Yet this is not the case because each of these states while they have their own presidents and laws, laws are almost exactly the same, as mandated by the EU. Presidents of EU countries are almost the same with state governors in the US, yet still what is at fault? Why isn’t the economy the same everywhere?

The problem is as we said, the copy-paste economy model. You can’t copy-paste the democracy of the UK into Bulgaria for example and expect Bulgaria to function exactly like the UK. While they are both EU states, the problems Bulgaria has aren’t the problems UK has. UK democracy is written for UK problems not for Bulgarian problems yet Brussels bureaucrats order these nations to copy-paste their democracy and everything will be fine. Well Bulgaria for example is the EU since 2007 yet their salary is 5 times smaller than in Germany, the minimum monthly salary is €332 a month while in Germany its about €2200 per month and its all because of copy-paste democracy. After 15 years and yet the EU did nothing for them, absolutely NOTHING, no benefits whatsoever. Salaries are almost exactly the same in non-EU post Soviet states such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and here we can explain exactly how the copy-paste democracy is failing.

Bulgaria copy-pasted the EU democracy, Bulgaria needed more exports and less imports yet it is the opposite that happened and due to this nature of copy-paste democracy, they can’t stop some of the imports of things they can produce locally as the democracy they have won’t allow to restrict imports due to free market society democratic core principle but again the problems Bulgaria faces aren’t the problems Germany faces. Bulgaria needs to stabilize and increase their salaries, Germany doesn’t, thus Bulgaria could adopt a different technique to reach Germany’s performance but its copy-paste democracy won’t allow it.

Ukraine is rushing to join the EU dreaming about gold growing in trees and raining with euros from the skies after joining the EU, problem is its economy would suffer a major blow after joining the EU as West EU states would flood the Ukrainian markets with their products while buying NOTHING from Ukraine. You would see Ukrainian stores full of Made in Germany, Made in France, Made in Italy products yet no German, French store would have a single product Made in Ukraine, when it should be the exact opposite to balance the economy of all EU states. The West should produce less and import more from the East at least for a period of time until the economy stabilizes and equalizes itself in those new poorer member states.

A boost in economy so to speak, for example, it is Zhytomyr Lasoshchi chocolate that needs to sell more so that Ukrainian economy gets better. It isn’t Milka chocolate which needs more markets and people to sell to!!!!!!! Not only that but Ukrainians having both chocolates in their stores now, Zhytomyr Lasoshchi would loose some clients as Ukrainians would also buy Milka. How would Ukraine buying more from the West exactly help Ukraine’s economy when in fact it would do quite the opposite, completely ruin it? As complex as economists would try to spin this, it is in fact a very simple easy thing: I buy from you but you don’t buy from me. Unequal trade. I am thus poorer than you. It is not about accountings, finances, audits, management, marketing and all this meaningless nonsense. It is a very simple discriminatory method. I buy your chocolate and give you my money but you don’t buy my chocolate and give me your money because my chocolate is supposedly bad. Even though I have less money than you and it should be YOU who should buy from me so that we have an equal amount of money, somehow through a magic trick, I the poorer one end up buying more from you while you buy either very little or nothing at all from me.

The mentality behind such ideals is that ok your products are worse than my products, that’s why I don’t buy from you and if you can’t survive in a free market and you go bankrupt than ok happy bankruptcy, nobody cares (unless you’re a multi-billion bank or corporation like Google and then the US government gives you handouts). So what do we do then? Ok let’s say ALL Ukrainian products are bad, NONE deserve to be imported in the elitist West which only consumes its own products, and all Ukrainian products and factories go bankrupt because Ukrainian stores are so oversaturated with West products that nobody buys locally produced things anymore, so ALL of Ukraine’s factories go bankrupt and close down? Happy bankruptcy to ALL? Who will offer jobs and pay salaries to these people then? What about their economy? Unless you live Wonderland, an economy does not mean a bunch of people dressed up in office suits sitting at some desks. You can’t have the entire population of a country do that and expect to have a working economy and big salaries. If that’s what you think, alright, close down all factories and all stores worldwide. No products sold. No more buying and selling because there are no products to buy or sell. There are no products because there are no factories. What do you think it will happen if we do such a thing? 99% of economy revolves around BUYING AND SELLING. Factories = economy, exports of goods = economy, everything else is basically FAKE fantasy land.

Normally, these countries should be enraged and their reaction should be nothing else short than: “Well then F you and your chocolate and your country and your democracy and your f-ing EU!” and this is sadly exactly what is happening. Democracy is becoming less and less popular among people and everybody is scratching their heads not knowing why.

Due to these reasons and failures people are beginning to hate democracy itself and this is a dangerous development as people are either fleeing these disadvantaged countries, Bulgaria being in the process of emptying itself of citizens while other people are beginning to cozy up to dictatorship ideologies but who is at fault here if not all of us combined for not addressing and fixing these bugs of democracy? Nobody is saying here in this analysis that we need to destroy and replace democracy. What we are saying is that we need to REPAIR democracy as its suffering from some problems.

  1. The “US democratic system” is a myth created by Franklin D. Roosevelt and like Jewish communists. No where in the US constitution does the word exist. In fact the US Constitution prohibits such a government. Article 4, sec. 4 guarantees a Republican form of government. Madison compared a pure democracy to a lynch mob where the rights of the minority are overthrown by the passions of the majority Propaganda rules the majority, not reason.

  2. The belief in “economies of scale” and corporate “efficiency” at all costs has created a situation where both the public and private sector have grown beyond the point of transparency and accountability. The globalist mantra is, “Big is better”.

    What we forget is that it wasn’t always this way. In the days of the robber barons and the railroad tycoons, Americans understood that monopolies suck the economic life out of ordinary households and that governments that enable these corporatists accomplish the same parasitic goal through excess taxation. Somewhere along the way the focus was on globalization in the promise of “raising all boats”. Anti-trust enforcement largely went out of favor. Henceforth, what is “broke” about Democracy is not democracy — nor capitalism, per se — but the idea that we can have our cake and eat it too: Somehow we are to remain a “free country” accountable to ordinary voters, yet tolerate a gargantuan private sector and an equally obese federal government. Private and public sector are in fact two sides of the same coin: Big government exists because Big Corporations donate to political causes and provide the tax revenues that politicians feed upon at the public trough. So the answer to both corporate and political lack of accountability is the same: break both the public and private sector down to size.

    Globalization favors a fusion of corporatism and big government — indeed many have worked toward “World Federalism” for decades now. Indeed, how do the global elite promote a “integration” between governments in the absence of globalization?

    We the people must wake up to the common thread running through all these seeming abuses: Politicians are unwilling to break up corporate monopolies because it means making enemies, which threatens their career aspirations (one reason why NO politician should be eligible for unlimited terms in office).

    It’s time to reimagine a system that is “human scale”. Neither the private or public sector is permitted to become too big to fail and therefore it will not be resistant to actual voter input/desires.

    Thinking we can run complex public or private systems on a globalized basis without losing local accountability must become a thing of the past. Complexity is a cover for corruption and grift, which is why unlimited growth of government power/influence and corporate power/influence are unsustainable no matter WHAT we choose to call those systems. We need human-scaled economic and political activity — but that’s the last thing in the world those who have benefited from the architecture of the current “Big is better” systems want us to comprehend.

    Politicians and their billionaire-backers in the World Economic Forum and DAVOS will not achieve a fairer or more equitable world — it is but a false promise as the gulf between the haves and the have-nots continues to widen. They design BIG and overly-opaque political and economic systems to hide the fact that Democracy has been “sold” to the highest bidder. These same corporatists, technocrats and politicians want people to believe that Capitalism doesn’t work and Democracy doesn’t work — but they don’t have anything better to offer and, in fact, what will instead take place is more consolidation of corporate and political controls over our lives in the name of “solving” the problem. Don’t fall for it!

    The establishment now openly refers to themselves as “stakeholders” as if to suggest the rest of us are not. THEY win when average people do not have the time, money, will or comprehension to “fight the system”. That is why their preferred systems, no matter what they choose to call them, inevitably promise that things will be better if we accept further centralization and monopolization of power. Of course they would argue that giving them more of the same will allow them to “fix it for us”. But they never have and they never will. It’s time to set aside the usual right vs. left political arguments and appreciate that until we cut both the public and private sector down to size, nothing changes. Democracy and capitalism can work for the rest of us — but only if we stop buying into their divide-and-conquer political narratives and unite around the fact that size matters. And they’re ALL too big.
