On Sunday, Brazilians will go to the poll again. Two candidates weren't getting the majority votes to qualify. Yes, democracy is working here!
Greece invented democracy. In Greece language, 'demo' means self; 'cracy' means rule. Democracy means self-rule. Today's democracy is not self-rule. It is a concentrated power at the national level of government.
Democracy always commits suicide. History proves it. Look what happened to Greece. Look what happens in every country that adopts democracy. They become welfare countries. Democracy is the forebody of socialism. Socialism is the backbone of commiunism.
Let me quote John V. Denson from LIMITING THE STATE
We should learn from the war and welfare century that the greatest discovery in Western civilization was that liberty could be achieved only through the proper
and effective limitation on the power of the state. It is this limitation on the power of the state which protects private property, a free-market economy, personal
liberties and promotes a noninterventionist foreign policy,which, if coupled with a strong national defense, will bring peace and prosperity instead of war and welfare. It is not democracy per se which protects freedom.Too many people living in
democracies are lulled into believing that they are free because they have the right to vote and elections are held periodically. If you take conscription for military
service as an example, I think you would find that if it was proclaimed by a sole monarch, the people would revolt and disobey.
However, in a democracy, when the politicians vote for it, the people comply and still think they are free.
Excerpt from A CENTURY OF WAR John V. Denson
Freedom means self rule. And at same time, freedom comes with self responsibility.
Freedom in a community or a country also means to protect the weak and the quiet. Democracy exploits the weak and the quiet. It is just the opposite. Democrocy is to rob one group to benefit another group.
If democracy works in Brazil, like other countries, Brazil is doomed.
