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?
