In a Real Democracy, Political Power emanates from the Bottom and Institutionalizes at the Top.

In a Real Democracy, Political Power 'emanates' from the 'Bottom' and 'Institutionalizes' at the Top. The Top becomes an Institution of Power; but only because the People have 'granted' it. The so-called 'Power' at the Bottom arise from the 'Uniqueness of the Human Condition' and because every Human Being, within any Nation, and regardless of Race, Color or Creed, should 'enjoy and express' his/her Freedom and Equality'. The human Condition cannot be 'changed'; She/He will always be an expression of 'Human Life'. Politics does not create Life, it only 'Governs' the 'Many People' at the Bottom of the 'Institution'. To the contrary, a Political System can always be changed or modified because it is a Political Institution established for the sole Purpose of 'Governing'. It has no other Purpose for existing. Every Democratic political System must employ 'political principles' that protects the Freedom and Equality of the 'Real Individual' that it Governs. The Top has Political Power but, only in a 'Representative Manner' and only for a short Period of Time. After their Time is Up, 'they' are like you and I, Politically Powerless. Of course, the 1% has 'influence', but never Power, and the 1% is the result of a Capitalistic form of Economics. Capitalism is driven by an entirely different 'Engine', Profits, Monies, and the 'Hoarding' of a Medium of Exchange. Of course, the Hoarding includes ownership of Commercial Properties that generate 'more profits' for the further 'Fattening' of the 1%. 'Greed' generates 'more Greed'; there's no stopping it. The only way to control this economic, 'lop-sided' condition is to 'require', by law, the 'Surreal Legal Fictions' to 'exist' and 'live' a more 'democratic Life'. If, Real Individuals are required to live democratically and within the parameters of Law, why can't the Corporations or Legal Fictions? Where are the Real Politicians?
