A Nation must be 'Governed'; an Economy must be 'successful'.

A Nation is a Political Entity and all Nations must be Governed. A Nations 'Government' is what determines if the Nation is a Democracy; an Aristocracy; an Oligarchy; a Plutocracy; a Dictatorship; or, any other 'form of Government'. A Democratic Nation should be a 'Democracy'. But, its not that easy. Many Nations call themselves Democracies, but or, in fact, not Democracies, or, not 'true' Democracies. Nevertheless, they are autonomous Nations and as such must 'govern' the 'Bottom' of the Entity. Of course, the Bottom of 'any' political Entity 'are the People'. The Top governs the Bottom. But, in a Real Democracy, the Bottom determines who is at the Top, i.e., the Bottom 'elects' the Top. In all cases, the Top must Govern. But, its very important that the Top govern along the lines of so-called 'Political Science'. Even though that 'term' might be questionable, the function of Government is 'clearly' 'to Govern'. There exists 'no other function' for any type of Government; Democratic, or, Otherwise. However, its important to distinguish the act of 'Governing' from the 'act' of having a 'successful economy'. They are Two Separate 'Entities' subject to two different 'Motors'. In a Real democracy, the 'political entity' is 'driven' by the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each' and 'every' Real Individual at the Bottom of Government. In a 'Successful economy', the end 'result' of 'all economic activity' 'should be' to 'flow' to the 'Bottom of the Political Entity, namely to the People, and to the Social Institutions. Of course, there are 'profits for the entrepreneur'. But, notice that a Political Entity 'cannot' be motored by 'Profits', because there is no 'Freedom and Equality' there; only more, and more, of the same; Profits, Money, Greed. What happens in a Nation where the Top Political Officials are mostly 'Business CEO's', who, evidently, have no idea about Governing? Well, all the 'Political Moves' seem to be 'tainted' by 'Business gains and profits'; hence; Corporations, Legal Business 'Fictions', get bigger and bigger; the 1% get richer and richer; while the 99% struggle to 'make ends meet'. Where are the Statesmen?, and, more important, how did 'that businessman'(1%-er) and his 'Bandito Cabinet' get up there? How sad. The 'human condition' is in 'bad shape'.
