A Real Democracy cannot persist without Real Freedom and Equality.

A Real Democracy cannot persist without Real Freedom and Equality. However, the equation of 'Government' sets up a real problem. The problem is that the Bottom of Government i.e., the People, must also appreciate and understand the Democratic form of Government. In other words, a democracy cannot be motored by any other governing principle than the Freedom and Equality of the People at the Bottom of Government. That gives rise to the Voting process. The most pernicious and subtle 'substitute' for a true 'governing principle' is an 'economic principle'. In different words, 'money', 'economic classes', 'have & have-nots', or the so-called 'corporate society'. The 'motor' for a corporate society, 'legislates' and 'protects' its corporate nature; not the Freedom and Equality of the 'real Individual'. Some will say, why do you call Individuals 'real' when everyone already knows that 'all Individuals' are 'real'? Well, why do you call corporations 'persons', when you know they are 'not real' like you and I? When you or I violate a Law, we can go to jail. You cannot put a Corporation in jail. Corporations are 'persons' only in 'legal jargon' that states that they are 'Persons' only in "contemplation of Law". In other words, they are Fictions. They are 'not real', so why can a corporation 'contribute' money to the 'voting process', and not contribute to 'Freedom and Equality' in a 'real democracy'? Real Democracy has become 'overcome' by an economic principle. The 'corporate nature' of society has overwhelmed the real democracy in which we live, or, stated differently, the true 'condition of togetherness' in which the 'real individuals','living next to each other', at the Bottom of Government, live. How sad, politicians cannot 'handle Power'; the 'political Power' they acquire, from the People, in a Democracy, is exercised 'selfishly', instead of 'democratically'. They slowly erode the political principle of democracy and, in its 'place', they situate an economic principle, that I assure you, will 'awaken' the 'International sphere' of Governing. Can you 'picture to yourself', a 'Globe', or 'Earth', striving to exist on an 'economic principle', a principle 'motored by Profits'? Where are the 'States-persons'?
