Today, for a nation to
be recognized as civilized, it has to include the word “democracy”
as a denomination of the government's regime or in the name of the
country itself.
This is the reason why the first measure taken by Laurent Kabila,
the obstinate guerrilla fighter recently placed into office as the
ruler of former-Zaire, renamed the country as the “Democratic”
Republic of Congo. Thus, one more nation came to join the already
long list of several other converted nations, like: Algeria, North
Korea, Laos, Somalia, Sri Lanka...
The fact that these countries are far from respecting the principal
basics of liberty is neither of any consequence to its leaders, nor
to the international community. On labeling themselves democratic,
they glide through the first indispensable step of reaching the
platform of the reliable nations, from there on being able to
exercise some of the exclusive prerogatives: like trading with more
favorable conditions, economic and military assistance and
principally to gain praise and the blessing of the United States -
invested as guardian of democracy - and its European court.
This grotesque situation clearly exhibits, the true pillar on which
the democratic regime of this planet rests: hypocrisy
Democracy is founded on hypocrisy. Everything that is related to
this political regime, in the end always ends up in some kind of
hypocritical argument.
There is nothing more hypocritical when it is said that the people
are wise, right. Most of the time however, the ones who chose the
leaders, behave like an indolent cattle herd, being steered from one
side to the other by the political leaders that give political
promises that are never fulfilled.
There is only hypocrisy in the common expressions of democratic
practice: “political bargaining,” “the basis of parliamentary
support,” “the compatibility of interests”... They are all
euphemisms for pure and simple corruption.
It is nothing other than hypocrisy when it is said that power is
exercised on behalf of the people. The congresses and the
parliaments elected to carry out this function in the democratic
countries are national tumors, which at each election are
insufficiently monitored and increase malignantly, disseminating
with redoubled zeal the metastasis of corruption. How can one
believe in the longevity of such a weak organism?
In fact, the only encouraging thing that is extracted from this
depressing picture is the knowledge that democracy will inevitably
die. It is neither a rash affirmative nor a prophecy without
fundament, only a fore vision of an inevitable, natural and
automatic process of purification.
All that is wrong, noxious or useless cannot remain indefinitely.
Whatever does not adapt to the certain basic laws, or natural laws,
cannot last long, be it man’s nature or a product of his being in
the world, like his way of living, economic doctrines, religious and
philosophical systems, or political regimes.
The same process or law that acts automatically swept the planet
free of the communist system in one go, because it was wrong and
insane. It has also brought down (and continues doing so) all types
of political regimes that are based on force and oppression, and
this same process will also disintegrate the corrupt democratic
system, when the time for that has come. Better put, it will clean
Earth of this system.
The remaining political class will need to redirect its objectives
and procedures, adjusting them to very different principals than
those used today; otherwise it too will not last.
The political regime of the future will be more like one used by
certain ancient civilizations in the past, deliberately relegated as
a historical curiosity or completely forgotten by this strange
creature, modern Homo politicus that in his ill foreseen
decadence titled himself as self-sufficient, but through his acts
has only shown himself to be self-deluded. |
