A 'Form" of Government 'Resolves' and 'Institutionalizes' the ancient dilemma of the One and the Many.

A Form of Government Resolves and Institutionalizes the ancient dilemma of the One and the Many. The One is the Top of the institution and the Bottom is the Many or the Bottom of the Institution. The Top is Power and the Bottom is the 'Many People' at the Bottom of Government. A Form of Government is a structure of Power. Of course, 'Governments' take many Forms; from Kingdoms, Autocracies, Oligarchies, Plutocracies, Democracy; Tribes and even Families. Of course, it can also be said that Family and even Tribes are not about Power, but nevertheless, its about a 'structure' or 'Form' of 'Governance'; or, 'How to get along with each 'Other'. The Institution of Government is for the 'sole purpose' of Governing. We would not have an Institution of Government, if it were not for the so-called dilemma of the One and the Many, 'recognized' in ancient times. Why should 'One' subject the 'Many' to a Form of Government? Stated differently, why should a 'Free' and 'Equal' human Being, exactly as the Guy next to you, need a Government or 'require Governing'? Of course, if 'Human Interactions' were Ideal, we would not require Governing. It should be obvious that the 'Many' different States, Nations, Countries, do not see 'eye to eye'. Its worse than that; the Many People in any One Nation do not see 'eye to eye'. So, if we cannot 'hold together' as 'Nations' ( Internationally) how are we going to hold together as a 'People'? (Nationally). Or, vice-versa. Of course, the source of the 'Real Dilemma' in the International sphere, as well, as the National sphere, is the Real Individual. All Nations require Economies and Capitalism is not a bad Form of an Economy. But Capitalism would not assume the Form it has taken, if it were not for a 'Medium of Exchange'. That Medium is Money, and Money is a 'quantification of value'. The Problem of the One and the Many is 'transferred' to the 'Economy' and the 'Greedy pursuit' of a 'Quantified form' of the 'Medium of exchange'; Money. Today, Money Governs. The 1% governs. The issue now becomes, how much Money do you have, or, where are you on the Forbes List? Do you have enough Money to 'live', is their such a thing as 'Homeless', as 'Hungry'. How can such 'conditions' exist in a Wealthy Nation? Its Simple. The Top of Government is being 'Run' by CEO's who are so preoccupied with the Economy, that the 'Top of Government' is 'not Governing'. A CEO mentality cannot Govern a Democracy. We need Real States-Persons; Real Politicians. The Top of Democratic Government is de-constructing. Where are the Real Politicians?
