Democracy = Mob Rule

  I know everyone looks at the title of this paper and thinks Holy Shit another fanatical nut job, please bear with me and maybe we both can learn something. 

 Now I get so tired of watching the news and everyone across the globe saying how we need to spread democracy to every country. People, both politicians and the great unwashed as well have know Idea what they are talking about nor do they know the difference between any of the major parties Democracy ,Republic, Progressive (which is the new term for Socialist), or Communist.

  Here is the truth; Power corrupts and total power totality corrupts!! So any Government with a supreme leader is out, we have seen from the past the major catastrophes that come from that, You know Rome , World War I, World War II, and well every dictator or King that has ever sat a throne!! 

  So we have to talk about the only two forms of government that everyone in the populist rules. One is through majority vote, which is Democracy. In a pure Democracy the majority has to vote on everything from local regulations to, people chosen by the people from the people to rule the masses. The more government officials you add the more time you spend in the voting booth. Also everyone in the population needs to know everything about the world and local because every time the Government wants to do anything it is put to the population for a vote!

 In a constitutional republic the majority votes a group of leaders in multiple sections of government to make the laws and lead the government from people chosen by the people from the everyday citizens of the country this form of government is implemented.

 A Republic is also known as the rule by law since it is based and government by a constitution agreed upon at the time of forming the government.

  With a republic the people choose others to act in their stead, so they don’t have to worry about the everyday mundane running of the government and can go on living their lives.

   A republic also leaves the government with checks and balances to prevent the abuses of government over the people or propagating there own wealth and breaking the laws set forth within the Constitution. (This way the population can fire or Jail criminals that are within the government!!)

  Now do you see why it bothers me so much that they keep calling the republics around the world Democracies?

  It is bad enough the American political parties pass laws to protect the politicians that make them from any criminal action for their abuses of the law!!!!

  Rome one of the first successful republics fell for that reason, the senate was crushed and a dictator took charge. So a constitutional republic that can prosecute the politicians that violate the laws of the republic is so important.

  You see we are all just human and do not want to spend everyday running the government, but we have to have checks and balances to police the politicians we elect to run the Government.

 So when someone says we need to spread democracy; correct them let them know we need to let others make the republic that matches their countries needs.
