Language is essential to theoretical democracy, but DOING is essential to real democracy.

Language is essential to democracy. We cannot do without the language of democracy. Nevertheless, we have to remember that democracy is not just about 'talking' democracy. Democracy has its language, but it also has its practices. If democracy is just 'talk', its not real democracy; at best its theoretical democracy. Anyone can do that. As a matter of fact, many Nations already do that; they do the 'talk' but not the 'walk'. The Top of any government is always 'linguistic' and theoretical. However, every government has a direct line from the Top of government to the bottom of government. The Top, of necessity, must remain abstract. The direct line to the Bottom must be a line that extends from the abstract Top down to the concrete situation,( in a real way) or to the Bottom where each and every individual lives on a daily basis in a 'condition of togetherness'. Why?, because that closes the theoretical gap that exists between the One and the Many. The purpose of governing is to render the abstract concrete. Otherwise, the Top is not doing its job and the Bottom is without government. The Top can 'talk' democracy, but that is not sufficient; it must DO democracy. That's the purpose of policy, government programs, and laws. If anyone in politics wants "less government", they are making a big mistake. We have to ask ourselves, "then, who will govern us?" That would just place us at the mercy of the 'value system' and the 'moral system' of the leaders at the Top. That'll never work; it won't work, even for those who espouse such a position. Governing the 'condition of togetherness' requires a direct line to the Bottom where the essence of democracy is situated. Once, that relation is established in a 'real way', the Constitution becomes the Law of the land. The direct connection has to be kept or the Top will lose its connection to real democracy. The Top must listen to the Bottom; that's where life is lived; where people are hungry; where people need jobs; where suffering takes place; and those are the people who will serve in 'your military' when you declare war.
