The 'power' to Govern 'arises' from a 'real Democracy'; not from the 'results' of a 'successful economy'.

Governing requires Power; power 'must arise' from the democratic nature of a real 'condition of togetherness'. Power should not be related to economic principles. Stated differently; Power is not some 'inherent quality' in the economy; its not about 'money and possessions'. As important as a successful economy is, it does not determine the 'inherent Power' of a Democratic, 'condition of togetherness', to govern itself. The reason for that is that a successful economy is motored by 'profits', money, more and more, of the 'same'. Its 'cumulative' in nature. Democracy is motored by 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each and every' Individual in the 'condition of togetherness'. The essence of Power is based on its application to 'each and every' real Individual in the 'condition of togetherness'. Freedom and Equality applies to 'every' real Individual; not to some 'abstract', 'vacuous', 'generality', about the 'condition of togetherness'. The 'condition of togetherness' retains the 'uniqueness', of each and every Individual in the 'condition'. The Individual does 'not get lost' in the 'abstractness' of the condition, as it does in linguistic terms like 'Society', 'Social', etc.. That's exactly how terms like 'Socialism' had their arising. The term 'Socialism' is an oxymoron; a 'social' cannot be governed; only 'Individuals' can be governed. If any 'real Individual' is left out of a 'proper governing' process, then, that would be discrimination. If 'we discriminate'; its time we stopped. All we have to do is look at our 'past footprints' to see 'where we've been' to determine 'where to go'. A Nation must learn from its past. Failure to consider the past can lead to 'self-destruction'. How sad; we create a real political 'Locus of Power', and then we switch our allegiance to a 'cumulative fiction'.
