DEMOCRACY AND DICTATORSHIP OF MAN OR GOD

DEMOCRACY AND DICTATORSHIP OF MAN OR GOD

All centralised systems invariably decay. Decentralisation is the plan of the universe. Democracy is decentralisation and conduces to progress. But democracy is usurped to promote dictatorship through demographic change. The complexity of cultures and numbers, of evil and good, of power and perversion, of camouflage and cunning, of barbarism and faith, makes democracy a demographic challenge that is difficult to maintain overtime and has periodically to suffer barbaric reverses. Hence, the alternation of peace and war, of freedom and bondage, and often millenia-old slavery to divine entity of dubious existence.

Imagination, superstition, low evolution and power make a dangerous combine to counter which democracy has to be strengthened constantly through right rational and ethical education of the polity. Overall, a difficult task but attainable nonetheless. Democracy must be vigilant against these intrusive dictatorial features coming in the shape of absolutist political and religious ideology. The divine is to be trusted least as there is often not much to distinguish it from the devilish. Better be human in the real and rely on rationality than depend on a fabricated design going by the name of a diabolical divine. 🕉
