Re: Democracy ???
Nope. 'Murica, the land of the free, idealises lyrical about democracy but is, in fact, an oligarchy.

Re: Democracy ???
"Nope", good answer, but you can do better than that. I've heard of it, ... many times, ... but where is it.?
Re: Democracy ???
Democracy is a misunderstood concept. Most nations perceived to be democracies are actually Republics.

Not so. Behavioural studies have shown (no citation, so clearly I'm making this up) that the guys subconsciously look to one or two alphas to lead the pack, and are happy to follow as a herd.Milord wrote:No points for semantics.

Maybe If you're a young pup. When you are older you'll understand there's no Alfa pimp leading shit ... just guys having a drink.
I don't mean to sound harsh, Grasshopper, just ... it becomes less important about who's got Bucks or Position later in life.

Re: Democracy ???
We should write this stuff down. Brilliant.

India (one man one vote) and Scandinavia, maybe Netherlands.
But when they are told what to do by bankers, not many independent places left.
On the other hand, why do we automatically assume democracy is the best model? Because Murika claims to be one?
How's that working out for its citizens? Not so well.
Maybe Germany? Finland? Iceland?

Money is human happiness in the abstract; he, then, who is no longer capable of enjoying human happiness in the concrete devotes himself utterly to money.
