In the assessment of democracy as a social system, the influence of the underlying economic system plays a important role.
So in my opinion the question should be : Is there a democracy without capitalism? And the consequent question would be : How would that look like? Last edited by Nobody1; April 30th, 2012 at 08:16 PM.. |

if there was a true democracy, then i believe we would have more of a say in politics and how our taxes are used and how much politicians are entitled to and how much we borrow and how much we give away and how many conflicts we get dragged into be a totally miss guided government.

Democracy doesn't exist.
It never has. Don't believe me? I'll use the UK as an example. When was the last time you saw every single person of voting age in Britain turn up at the Houses of Parliament to vote on an issue. It's never happened. 30-40 million chaps and chapesses just won't fit into the building and in a Democracy they'd have to on a regular basis. The same as every other "Democracy". Just work on the theory that Democracy is a flawed, bastardised form of Republicanism and is a helluva lot better that the numerous awful alternatives.

If we could figure out how to have a democracy without the greed of capitalism we would have an almost perfect system.

Democracy is a transitional government leading the way to Socialism aka Communism.
The only free government is a Constitutional Republic, what the USA was given by the founders of the US Constitution and BOR's. True Constitutional Republic was destroyed piece by piece with most obvious destruction was during what the north called the civil war, southerners rightfully refer to it as the War of Northern Aggression. States writes where destroyed after that war swinging the gates open for federal overbearing control. Money/Power that's what it's always about. Anyone believing the freeing of African slaves is what it was about is very naive. 700.000 Americans killed for Africans freedom ... dream on. It would have been less expensive to buy their freedom. |

Like many things it's a good servant but a bad master. At its best it allows people to live fulfilled and secure lives. Communism isn't the same thing at all.It is when the state owns the means of production and distribution. |

Democracy is a fraud
They should rename it Duocracy... Because any one tries to set up a new party that would challenge the two majority parties both parties will come together and attack... Their friends in the media will help them too. If Australia had a true Democracy their should be four parties with a chance. The only problem is with that you would get situation like in Italy where they have coalitions that fail so often there's an election almost every year. From what I understand Lenin's plan was to have a Communist state that had 4 communist parties. Every four years you would vote for one and that one would rule for a term... But greedy people killed him before he could get this into law... One thing Australia has it right, there should be compulsory voting...
