In a Democracy, 'Politicians' are necessary; an Economy is also necessary; how are they to be balanced.

In a Democracy, 'Politicians' are necessary; an Economy is also necessary; so, how are the 'Two' to be balanced. The Politician must create, 'structures' and 'Social Institutions' that 'perfect' the 'Condition of Togetherness' at the Bottom. The Bottom needs an 'Economy'; its the Bottom that needs an Economy, not the Top, hence 'Capitalism'. The Political, or the 'Source of Power', or the 'Top', crafts Social Institutions that 'structures', and 'modulates' a Bottom that protects the 'Equality and Freedom' of Each and every 'Real' Individual in the Social, i.e. the 'Real Individual' that constitutes the 'Condition of Togetherness'. The Top, in a Democracy, cannot tell the Bottom 'how to act', 'behave' or 'what to do'. It can only tell the Bottom what 'Not to do'; hence Law and 'Order'. With 'Law and Order' the 'Top' structures a Social that protects the Freedom and Equality of each and every Real Individual in the 'Condition of Togetherness'. Now, Capitalism is also essential to the Social in a Democracy, but the 'activity', 'more and more of the same', of 'Capitalism', is never 'controlled' by the Government. Capitalism is Part of the Bottom and always strives for 'Size', 'Profits and Monies', that usually attains to 'Greed'. Its a 'never ending cycle' that ends with 'Greed', which is, basically, the 1%. Profitable Businesses are 'Incorporated', made Legal Fictions by the machinery of Government. As Legal Fictions they even attained to the Level of 'Persons" in a 'Constitutional Social'. That created a 'Lop-Sided Economy'. Now, the 'Economy' or 'Corporate Persons' want to 'drive' the 'Ship of State'. But, the 'Motor' for the 'Two separate activities' is different. All we have to do is 'look closely' at all the 'changes' being made 'by the Top' with reference to 'Monies', and the ever-changing 'face' of the Top, to see that we are 'being driven' by 'Economic Principles' not 'Democratic Principles'. In a Democracy, Real Politicians must focus on the Principles of Equality and Freedom. In a Democracy more control is needed over 'Fictitious, Surreal', 'Persons' in the Economy. If you can't put them in Jail (like a real Person) then, 'control' them better. Where are the Real Politicians?

Democracy has a 'Problem'; that 'problem' is the 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom of Government'.

Democracy has a 'Problem'; that 'problem' is the 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom of Government'. Remember, the Real Individuals, who live in a 'Condition of togetherness', at the 'Bottom of Government', are the 'Essence' of Democratic Government. The problematic is that Many Individuals in a Condition of Togetherness tend to divide up into 'Groups', or 'Political Parties'. Each 'Division' or 'Party' then establishes an 'Ideology' to 'hold it together'. That first division into 'Political Parties' than 'expands' and 'demands allegiance' from its 'members'. That division can weaken the 'condition of togetherness' at the 'Bottom of Government'. So, it appears that for 'democracy' to really work, it needs 'all the people' at the Bottom. Of course, if 'Party differences' were 'mere Ideological differences' that didn't 'effect' real 'Democracy', i'e', the condition of togetherness at the Bottom, it wouldn't make much difference. The 'Condition' still remains 'integrated' into a 'Peoples Government' and the Government is still a Government "of the people", "by the People" and, 'for the people". But, if 'Party Loyalty' has the 'effect' of dividing the 'Democratic Spirit' of the 'Bottom', the Bottom, the essence of Democracy, will become weak. That's what happens when Business Principles creep into Government and 'take over' the Government or the 'motoring' process. Business Principles, by their nature, are not democratic. The underlying aspect of Business, is 'more and more of the same', i.e., Profits and monies; its a 'cumulative process' that eventually leads to 'Greed'. That's why we have 'economic classes' divided into the 'Haves' and the 'Have-Nots'; a 'class Society'. A Class Society cannot integrate into a Real Democracy. Its 'Real' Democratic principles that must hold us together and that means Principles of Freedom and Equality. There's no other 'Glue' for democratic Principles. We must do away with Racial Discrimination; Economic class discrimination, and Government must begin to play a more 'energetic part' in the processes of the 'Equality and Freedom' of the Real Individual. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politics could be an 'Ideological' pursuit of Democracy; Capitalism is a pursuit of 'Profits and Monies'.

Politics could be an Ideological pursuit of Democracy; but, Capitalism is always the pursuit of 'Profits and Monies'. Neither, 'Ideology' nor 'Profits and Monies' has an 'End' point. An Ideological pursuit of Democracy never ends because the 'End Quest' is 'democracy' and that's defined as a continuing 'condition of togetherness' that protects its 'condition' as a 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each' and every 'real Individual' in the Condition. That may sound convoluted but, the reality is that the 'real Individual' can be 'counted' hence quantified, but, the Freedom and Equality are important 'variables' that 'continue unraveling' on a daily basis. You either 'experience' Freedom and Equality or you don't; that is a 'continuing Phenomena' experienced by the Individual. Racial discrimination is a Phenomena you 'know'; you 'feel it'; the so-called 'superiority' of one person over the other is 'somewhat understandable', as a 'talent' not possessed by everyone, but never, never, predicated on 'Racial grounds'. Economic and Class Discrimination; that's easy, either you have 'Monies' or 'Properties' or you don't. If you are a 'member' of the 1%, you do. The 1% are in control of most of the 'medium of exchange'(monies and Properties) in the Social; and are in a position to control the 'structuring' of the Social into Social, Economic, Classes. Notice how every City is divided into sections, or 'Classes'; the Poor; the Middle; the High, or Upper. The 'Haves and the Have-nots'; the Palaces; the 'Housing'; the 'Homes'; the shacks; and the 'Homeless'. Hence, Politics should be a Talent, or an 'Ideology' that pursues the 'Equalization' in the Social; and the 'Freedom' of expression of the 'Uniqueness' of each 'Human Individual'. We are all the Same( Equally Human and 'Unique'); yet, we are all 'Different', a 'different' expression of our 'Equality and Freedom'. This is possible in a Democratic Social where Politics pursues the "Equality and Freedom" of everyone. 'Political Ideologies' should be 'different routes' to the 'same' 'democratic goals'. But, Politics has failed us. Politics today is actually a 'Business Principle' concerned with 'more and more of the same'. Profits, Size, are all 'driven' by the economic principle of 'more and more of the same'; the End is never in sight, because 'Greed' has no 'End'.

Political Science is not a Science; and Capitalism is much 'closer' to being 'scientific' because its results are Quantifiable.

Political Science is not a Science, but Capitalism is 'closer' to being Scientific. 'Politics' has a multitude of 'variables' that cannot be quantified e.g., Individual 'Freedom and Equality' cannot be quantified. You can 'count' the 'Individual' in a Census but you cannot quantify the experience of 'Freedom and Equality'. However, Capitalism has many factors that 'can' and 'are' quantifiable. The end results of most Capitalistic efforts are quantifiable by the 'amounts of Profits and Monies' that it produces. The Size of the 'Corporate Structure can be quantified and compared with Other Corporate 'Entities'. The amounts of Profits and monies held by corporate interests are 'countable' and can be used to determine Size. That is the basic reason why an 'economy' cannot drive a 'Political Entity'. The 'end result' of striving for Profits and Monies has resulted in a Lop-Sided Economy which produces 'Economic Greed' (1%) and is completely 'unrelated' to 'Individual' Freedom and Equality. Economic Principles cannot drive a Political entity. They can create a Great economy, but 'Economic Principles' do not strive for 'Equality', 'Balance', or 'Inclusions' of 'Equality and Freedom' in 'all Real Individuals' in the Social. There is no 'end result' to Economic Activity; the 'Motor' keeps producing 'more and more of the same'( Profits ) with the 'goal' being merely to increase its 'Size' and to get to the Top of the Forbes List. The 1% never increases to 5% or 50%; the 1% always stays at 1% but gets 'Fatter and Fatter'. Money is important and serves as a 'medium of exchange' but it, like the Corporation, is a 'Legal Fiction'. If the 1% should ever get control of 'all the money' in circulation; it will change the 'Nature' of the Political Game. Welcome to Plutocracy! Maybe we are already there? A Government "of the 'Rich'; "by the Rich; and "for the Rich". Profits and Money cannot 'drive' a 'Real Democracy', only 'Real Equality' and 'Real Freedom' can 'motor' a Democracy. Real Equality and Real Freedom can eliminate 'Racial Discrimination' and 'Economic Inequality'. We need Political Leaders, not CEO's and Businessmen, to Drive the Ship of State. Where are the Real Politicians?

If Politics is more scientific, it can only 'quantify' the 'Individual' at the 'Bottom' as a 'Whole', while 'Freedom and Equality' remain Variables.

Politics is not a Science, but if it were 'more scientific', it can only 'Quantify' the 'Individual Human Being' as a 'Measurable Unit', while the Freedom and Equality of 'Each', remains a 'Variable'. Counting Individuals can help with the Census, but not with the Democratic nature of the Social. Of course, this would not solve all Political Questions but, it would be easier to measure the Individual in the Social as being 'Included' or 'Excluded', or as 'Really Free' and 'Really Equal'. For example, 'All Human Beings' are Equal and Free; hence, no Racial or Economic Discrimination is permitted in the 'Condition of Togetherness'.(Social). Now, one can count the 'Individual Units' to which the preceding applies as a 'Measurable Quantity', but not the 'actual variable' of 'Equality' or,'Freedom'. Many 'so-called' 'Minority Races' are not included and suffer from discrimination. The same applies in the Economic sphere. The 'Poor' remain poor, while the Rich get Richer. The Human Being does enjoy a certain Freedom and Equality, but neither 'Quality' can be 'Quantified'. Besides where does this term 'Minority Races' come from? To say that it refers to 'Numbers' of a particular Race is ridiculous. The 'Human Race' is the 'Human Race', and each Individual reflects his/her 'Genetic' as well as 'Environmental' attributes. And what about those 'Legal Fictions' called 'Corporations'? Are they 'Equal' to Real Human Beings? Of course not; they are artificial, abstract, Imaginary, 'Economic Entities' that are 'Driven' by the 'Autocratic Principles' of 'More and More of the Same'; Profits and Monies'. So, do we live in a Democracy? No, we do live in a 'so-called' Democracy but its motored by 'Economic Principles' instead of principles of 'Freedom and Equality'. There is too much Discrimination, both the 'Racial' and the 'Economic' variety. Where are the real Politicians?
