The 'problem' with Democracy is democracy.

One must be very careful how one uses verbal terms; especially terms that refer to political 'structures', 'political systems', or, on a more practical level, simply 'politics'. All forms of government are abstractions at the Top; and there is no difference between one abstraction and another. In the same manner, the term 'politics' applies to all the different ways of 'practicing' or implementing the different political ideologies. But, for now, we are focusing on the term "Democracy". The term, "Democracy" is also an abstraction but, the term applies to the 'theoretical' level of the structure set up to implement the ideology. The 'actuality', i.e. the actual effects of the implementation of the term, takes place at the Bottom of the governmental triad. As we have said, the Bottom of the governmental structure, is where the People reside in a 'condition of togetherness'. Its possible for a government to be a Democracy at the Top and not be a democracy at the Bottom. This is the problematic. The People at the Bottom must 'live' the democracy on a daily basis. That individual at the Bottom is 'Free and Equal', as is any other individual, within the same system; and that includes the individual who has been 'elevated' to the Top, to do the 'governing'. In a Democracy, all individuals are Free and Equal, in a real way. Each individual has her/his own life and is free to 'live' it. Governmental structures cannot interfere with that expression of the 'living condition'. Actually, government has a duty to protect and defend the 'living conditions' at the Bottom. Governments are necessary because the human beings are too numerous and need guidance to live side by side in the 'condition of togetherness'. However, that does not entitle the theoretical structure of government to implement policy and law that does not respect the integrity of the human condition. The human condition is sacred and should not be manipulated or demeaned politically, by policy or law, nor by any governmental structure. Democracy at the Top is theoretical ,but at the Bottom, it is actually lived by the People. That should be the case. But, is it always true? Of course, not. Many policies and laws that are applied to the people create problems, instead of resolving problems. Those policies and laws should be rewritten to reflect 'life' at the Bottom. If that is not the case, they should be abolished. 'Life' at the Top is never a problem; the problems are always at the Bottom. That's why real democracy is about People; the policies and the laws may be good, and if so, they have to be implemented, and secondly; they have to actually be 'lived' by the People who live at the Bottom.
