In a Democracy, the problematic is 'how to enable the 'Institutions' at the 'Bottom' to reach the 'Many'.

IN a Democracy, the problematic is 'how to establish 'Social Institutions' at the 'Bottom', that actually 'reach' and 'benefit' the 'Many'. Its relatively easy for the 'Top' to say the 'Bottom' is 'Free and Equal'. Many 'Autocracies' claim to be 'Democracies'. Of course along with the statement that everyone is 'Free and Equal' is the understanding that 'Law and Order' is also an absolute necessity. No 'One' can Govern 'Many' without there being in place the 'Social Institutions' and 'Law and Order'. Law and Order spells out the 'activities' that are 'prohibited' so as to allow the 'Acceptable' to become 'Institutionalized'. Those 'Acceptable Acts' become the 'Basic Activities' that becomes 'Institutionalized' into the 'Social'. Indirectly, 'Law and Order' establishes 'Social Mores' that become 'Socially acceptable' by prohibiting 'unlawful activity' among the 'Many'. The 'Individual' at the 'Bottom' is 'Free and Equal' and anyone who chooses to Run for 'Public Office' is 'Free' to do so. But, shouldn't there be some 'Requirements and Qualifications' to do so? At present, there is nothing to prohibit someone with 'Autocratic tendencies' from 'Running' for Public Office. Of course, such a tendency is not as obvious as one would think and that is not the 'sole characteristic' to 'guard' against. As we have pointed out, a '100% businessman' will possess certain 'Autocratic Tendencies' to operate a 'Corporate Fiction' successfully. Individuals who have never served the 'Public Good' can also have 'Autocratic tendencies'. No Individual who is a 'Corporate Success' is free from such 'unconscious motivations'. They all 'talk' about improving the 'Economy' but, in most cases, that ambition is limited to some 'favorable treatment' of some favorite 'Legal Fiction' or to giving 'Tax reductions' to the 'biggest Income Producers' in the 'Social'. What about Freedom and Equality, Racial Discrimination, or Class Discrimination? It never includes 'those Individuals' who need it the most or those activities that will 'Balance Out' the 'Social' into a more 'Healthy Social', or that 'Serves the "general Welfare", as provided by the Constitution. Where are the Real Politicians?

The Ancient Problematic of 'The One and the Many' has evolved into the 'Few and the Many'.

The Ancient Problematic of 'The One and the Many' has evolved into the 'Few and the Many'. There has always been an Issue as to how any 'One Individual' can Govern the 'Many Individuals' at the Bottom. What does He or She posses that the Others do not. Of course, The Divine Right of Kings Form of Government relied on the fact that the King was Divine. At first, I imagine, their was a belief that the 'King and the Divine' were in touch with each Other. Later, there evolved a concept that the King had 'Two Bodies'. One was Divine and the other was 'Like Everyone Else'. The 'Divine Right of Kings' concept of 'Rule' comes from this arrangement. Other 'Forms of Government' evolved from this 'basic Concept'. The 'Autocratic' concept retained the idea that the 'Top Ruled the Bottom'. It didn't Govern, it Ruled. There are 'Many' different forms of Governing that retained this 'Line of Authority', but 'thinned it out' by creating 'Agencies' at the 'Top'. But, it was the 'Democratic Form' that really changed the 'Ancient Styles of Governing. Power was in the 'People' and they 'transferred it to the Top' by the Ballad Box and created a 'Three Branch Form' of Government. The Bottom are 'the People' or, the Legislative Branch; The Top is the Executive Branch; and the Third Branch is the Judiciary. This 'Form' allows 'Movement' from the 'Bottom' to the 'Top' of 'Power'. Hence, there was a limitation placed on how long any one Individual could serve in the 'Highest Office' in the Land. But, since any Individual at the Bottom could try to Serve in the Highest Office in the Land, other problems evolved. Was the 'Intent of the Individual' to 'Serve' the People, or to 'Rule' the People, or to 'Govern' the People in accordance with the 'Constitution'. As you can see, the 'Problematic' of the 'One and the Many' still 'visits us', but in a more 'Diluted Form'. It seems that if the 'Intent' is to 'Govern' according to the 'Constitution' and the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'every one Real Individual' at the Bottom, there would be no 'Racial Discrimination'. Real Freedom and Equality would reign. Legal Fictions ( Fictional 'Persons') like Corporations would not be 'favored' over 'Freedoms and Equalities'. Where are the Real Politicians?

The only thing that can be more powerfull than 'Political Correctness' is 'Creativity'.

The only thing that can be more 'Powerful' than 'Political Correctness' is a 'Creative Politics'. A Creative Politics can really tackle the Old Problematic of the 'One and the Many'; 'Power' at the 'Top' and 'The Many' at the 'Bottom'. An 'Autocratic Government' has 'Power at the Top' and 'People at the Bottom', but the formula is much 'simpler' than a 'Democratic Form'. In such cases, the 'Top has Power' and the 'Bottom' has no 'Freedom and Equality'; and if it does, its never spelled out. Hence, the Autocrat is Free to 'Rule' as he 'wishes'. A 'Real Democracy' has a 'Written Constitution' and the 'Organization of the Triadic Form of Governing' is spelled out in clear language. In a Democracy the Power is in the People at the Bottom and that Power is transferred to the Top via the ballot Box. Any one serving in High Office 'serves' the 'People at the bottom'. Of course, that creates many Problems, because that 'Ancient Problematic' raises its ugly head, viz: the One and the Many. But, that only allows room for the 'Creative Spirit'. Instead of 'just following' the Letter of the Constitution, the approach to Governing becomes 'Creative'; a Creativity that does not depart from the terms of the Constitution. No Longer just 'Politically Correct', but a 'True Spirit' to 'Serve' the People at the Bottom. A Political Entity that actually 'Serves' the People. Of Course, the Bottom is a Multiplicity of Peoples and that makes the Political Task of the 'Top' much more Difficult. No easy Task, the Top must become 'Creative', but within the 'Bounds' established by the Constitution. 'Political Correctness' is mere compliance with certain 'Political Practices'. Its 'empty', 'vacuous', and 'insincere'. 'True Politics' 'serves' the People and tries to establish 'Institutions' at the 'Bottom' that will 'protect and 'develop' the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Individual'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politics is 'not Science'; nor Art, but it's 'Creative' and hence 'closer' to an 'Art form'.

Politics is 'not Science', nor Art, but it's 'Creative' and hence 'closer' to an 'Art Form'. The 'Creative aspect' of Politics requires that the 'Top of Power' should exercise a little 'creativity' to 'Serve' the 'Needs' of the 'Social' and every 'Real Individual' that 'constitutes it'. Of course, that's a 'Tall Order'. How can an 'Institutional Top' possibly 'Serve Millions of Individuals'. We must be careful not to confuse 'Real Individuals' with the 'Condition of Togetherness' in which the 'Social' exists. The 'needs' of the Social does not necessarily mean the 'Needs' of Each and 'every' 'Real Individual' in the 'Social'. Of course, all Real Individuals are Free and Equal and that does mean 'all' 'Real Individuals'. But the Term 'Social' does have its 'definitions' and 'applications'. The 'function' of 'Power at the Top' is to 'create Social conditions' and 'Institutions' that help the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom 'realize' their 'Freedom and Equality. Of course, the Top has other functions, but none is more important than to 'realize' and 'help' actualize the 'Individuals Freedom and Equality'. That factor is what makes a Democracy a Democracy. But, its important that Each and Every Real Individual situated at the Bottom also realize and understand the 'Function' that 'they' must play. A democracy needs 'Law and Order' and the manner by which 'Individuals' comply with 'Law' helps to create 'Order'. That's the Purpose of Law and that's what 'creates Order' in the Social. Neither exists without the 'Other'. A Top that helps establish Law is a Top that Governs with Democratic Principles, not Economic principles. The reason for that is that Economic Principles are Dictatorial in Nature. An Economy strives in one direction and one direction only; towards 'Profits' and 'More and more of the Same'. A Polity must be governed by 'Democratic Political Principles'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politics is closer to an 'Art Form' than to a Political Science.

Politics is closer to an Art than to a Science. Obviously, a Two Party System has different ways of Politic-ing. Of course, Two ways of doing the same thing is not very scientific, nevertheless the Goal is the Same and that is that Both Parties should be 'Governing' the 'Peoples' of a Nation or one of the States of that Nation. So, why the Difference. Well, each Party of a Two Party System has its Ideology. But, each Party 'Governs' the same 'Territories'. The Parties have introduced into these Territories a different approach to the establishment of a Democratic Form of Government. But, our Government, whether Federal or State is a Democracy, a Government "Of the People", "by the People", and "For the People". Its a 'Peoples Government' and it has a 'Written Constitution'. The 'Liberal' and 'Conservative' Tag alludes towards an 'attitude' towards 'Governing', but 'Constitutional Governing', it must. The 'Political Stance' of each 'Party' refers to 'different attitudes' towards 'Governing'. But, they must 'Govern', not 'Rule'. At the moment, our Democracy is unraveling. Sad but True. The 'seat of Power' is occupied by an 'Autocrat' that cannot 'understand' what Democracy is. 'Led' by 'Principles of Economics', 'Freedom and Equality' has been 'sacrificed' to the 'Holy Dollar'. We have never been so close to a 'Plutocracy'. Unfortunately, its the 'Top of Power' that is 'unraveled' and the 'Lack of Democratic Principles' is disrupting the 'Freedom and Equality' situated at the Bottom. We have never needed more 'Sanity' in 'Governing' and 'True Leadership' at the 'Top of Power'. Where are the 'Real Politicians'? Its their 'Job' to correct the 'unraveling' of 'Real Democracy'.

A Political Entity is a 'Political Institution' and hence not a 'Natural Phenomena'.

A Political Entity is a 'Political Institution' and hence not a 'Natural Phenomena'. As a Human Institution, it is a 'Creation' and as a Creation, it must have its Institutional 'Component Parts', and its Institutional 'Motor'. In a Democracy, its 'Parts' are the 'Three Branches of Government' and its 'Motor' is the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'Each' and Every 'Real' Human Being under its 'Political Authority'. The Bottom, the People in their 'condition of togetherness' empower the Top. The only reason I say 'Real' is because the 'Social' and its 'Economy' is now populated with 'Real Persons' and 'Legal Persons'( 'Legal Fictions' called Corporations). Of course, they are recognized as 'Fictions' and as 'existing' only in 'contemplation of Law'. An Economic Institution( Business Corporation) created by Law as a Legal Fiction which contributes towards the creation of 'Economic Classes' better known as 'Haves and Have-Nots'. A 'Democratic Economy' becomes 'Politically Empowered' by the Law that protects a Business Corporation as a 'Person', hence a Legal Fiction. BUT, a 'Fiction' is a Fiction, whether Legal or Otherwise. Nevertheless, it 'establishes' the 'Corporate Nature' as 'Fundamental' and hence, its 'Size' and 'Productivity' becomes 'Fundamental'. A Fundamental 'Legal Person', or 'Fiction' that helps create 'economic classes', or 'Haves' and 'Have-Nots'. How, then, can a Democracy strive towards Equality. Don't mistake 'Social Equality' with 'Economic Equality'. The two are different. All 'Real Individuals' are 'Equal' and 'Free' and hence it can be said they have 'Social Equality', but not 'Economic Equality' because we live in a 'Capitalistic Economy' where Competition is Basic. Of course, when Constitutional Law holds that a 'Business Corporation' is a 'Person' in 'contemplation of Law', its creating an Economic 'imbalance' because Business Corporations can be as Large as they want and some are 'Huge'. Of course, they can be Taxed 'accordingly', but they are not. The Corporate Tax was reduced thereby augmenting the Imbalance. A Democracy where the Taxes are further reduced to augment already existing economic Imbalances in the Social further creates a 'Capitalistic Economy' that creates 'Haves' and 'Have-nots'. That's getting pretty close to a 'Corporate Society' or a 'Plutocracy'. A 'Business Corporation' can be protected without it having to become a 'Legal Fiction'. A 'Fiction' is a 'Fiction', anyway you cut it. 'Business Corporations' need more 'Democratic Duties' to 'offset' their 'Economic Autocratic Powers'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Why do 'Business Corporations' need to be Considered as 'Persons', in 'contemplation of law'?

Why do Business Corporations need to be Considered as 'Persons' in 'Contemplation of Law', and why only in 'Contemplation of Law'? Does that mean, that they are not really 'Persons'. How can a Constitution create a 'Person'? Of course, everyone knows they are 'Legal Fictions' and hence not 'Real Persons'. So, why consider them 'Persons' and give them the same 'Constitutional Rights' that 'Real Human beings' have? Of course, they are 'Economic Money Making Machines', and hence huge and very productive. No 'Real Human Being', or 'Real Person' can compete with a 'legal fiction' that is 'protected' by the Constitution. Of course, if corporations really 'need Protection', they are 'certainly entitled' to it, but why 'Personhood'. That move places it right alongside a 'Real Person' who is entitled to 'His, Her' 'Human Rights' as a 'Member' of the 'Condition of Togetherness' in which they exist. 'Real Human Beings', at the 'Bottom' of a 'Political Democracy' need protection from the 'Institutional Government' established by the 'Constitution'. Of course, the question arises, Why? Simply because no Human Being or 'Real Individual' can protect 'Himself or Herself' from an 'Institutionalized Political Power'. 'Government' is too Powerful and the 'Bottom' of the 'Political Entity' has split into 'opposing Parties' and the question 'always arises', why can't a 'Government' agree that 'Human Beings' are Natural, Real,( not Institutional) and hence 'more valuable' then 'Business Economic Institutions' established by a 'Social' or a 'Government', deployed by a 'system of Political Power' that is 'Split' along Business Power distributions set in motion by the 'Different Adversarial Parties'. Evidently, there are Politicians who seek to protect the 'Corporate Motor' instead of the 'innate Human Rights' of 'Real Individuals'. That 'establishes' a 'Polity motored' by Money and 'Economic Principles' instead of a Polity motored by 'Political Principles' of 'Freedom and Equality'. Creating Legal Fictions and giving them 'Constitutional Protection' creates an 'Economic Institution' instead of a Political Institution. Its O.K. to protect Business Corporations but, its ridiculous to call them 'Persons' and then simply to say 'Oh, they are 'Legal Fictions' and then giving them the 'same' or 'similar' 'Protections' that a 'Real Human Being' has. No Law can create a 'Real Human Being', or a 'Real Person'. We live in a Real World and we don't need 'Imaginary Persons' alongside us. Its O.K to protect Business Corporations, but why augment our already existing 'Computerized Hyper-Reality'? Where are the real Politicians?

When a 'Top of Power' fractures, and substitutes 'business Principles' for Governmental Principles , it begins to 'behave' like a 'Plutocracy'.

When a Top of Power 'Fractures', it begins to 'behave' like a 'Bottom' without 'Political Principles'. A 'Political Top' is very 'Organized' and, of course, has its own 'Political Language' and 'Ideology' that 'holds it together'. It is a very 'Coherent Political Institution'. All 'Different Forms' of 'Government' use their 'particular Language' and follow their 'particular Ideology'. Their 'Identity' as 'Governmental Agencies' is characterized by their use of a 'specific Language' with an 'Identifiable Power'. An 'Individual' in a 'High Position of Power' must use that 'Political Language' to 'Govern' or to 'Rule', depending on whether its a 'Democracy' or an 'Autocracy'. When a 'Top' uses the 'Language of a 'Bottom', it has 'lost' its bearings and its 'coherence'. It is floundering, and is 'drowning' in a 'Language of impropriety'. The Top becomes 'Institutionally Weak' and condemns the Bottom to a 'chaotic Condition'. In such a case, the Top loses 'control' and the Bottom becomes 'disorganized', 'confused', and loses its sense of 'propriety' and its sense of 'direction'. A Democratic 'Top' of Power 'must Govern' its 'Democratic Bottom with Political Principles of Freedom and Equality. If the Political Top loses 'control' of its 'Government', the Bottom will misuse its 'Economic Principles' and 'transfer' 'Autocratic Mechanism', and 'chains of control' to the Bottom. If a 'Democratic Bottom' mixes or misuses the 'Principles of Business' with the 'Principles of Government', it will transform into a 'Plutocracy' and that's a Government 'Of the Rich', 'By the Rich' and 'For the Rich'. Where are the Real Politicians?

'Political Science' is not a Science; then what is it?

'Political Science' is not a 'Science'; then what is it? Well, its kinda difficult to say what it is but we can certainly give it a try. Does a 'Democracy' need to be a Science? Well, no because 'Politics' deals more with 'Human Behavior' than with the 'Hard Sciences', like 'Physics' or 'Anatomy' or 'Chemistry'. Of course, 'Psychology' is considered a 'Science', but then, its 'behavioral' in nature, and its not a 'Hard Science', which, I think, means that it has many 'variables'. Obviously, there's no 'definite way' to 'do Politics', but that does not mean a Politician can do 'whatever he pleases' and still be considered a 'Politician'. Every 'Person' is a 'World'; and, by that, I mean 'Everyone' becomes what 'She or He' takes in through his 'Five Senses' and 'organizes it' into a 'Personality' or 'Persona'. I know that's an 'oversimplification', but that's why its not a 'Hard Science'. But, then a Person who 'chooses' to 'do Politics' comes from a certain definite 'Background' and is a definite 'Persona'. So, what are the 'Constraints' that characterize 'behavior' to be 'Political in Nature'. 'Politics' is about 'ascending' to the 'Pinnacles of Political Power' and 'Governing'. Its not 'Natural' in the sense that 'something' is Part of 'Nature', like 'Physics', 'Anatomy', or 'Chemistry'; but, its 'Constitutional'. The 'Constitution' 'Constitutes Us' as a 'Political Entity' with 'Power at the Top' and 'Three Branches' of 'Governmental Activity' that 'connects' the 'Bottom', constituted of the 'Many Peoples', with the 'Top Representatives' of Power. This 'Human Institution' relates the 'Top to the bottom', and the 'Bottom to the Top', hence a 'Democratic Institution'. 'Politics' is the 'activity' within that 'Relation' and every 'Democratic Relation' 'Runs' 'Both Ways'. Of course, that is not the case in every 'Polity'. For example, in an 'Autocratic Institution' the 'Relation' runs from the 'Top to the Bottom', but 'not' from the 'Bottom to the Top'. Why not? Because, an 'Autocracy 'Rules' its 'People'; it does not 'Govern'; end of story. Unfortunately, not to many Individuals can cope with an 'ascension to Political Power'. In some Individuals, there seems to occur an 'unbalancing' of the 'Power' and the 'Humane' in the 'Persona'. 'Power' takes over and the 'Humane' goes out the Window. Sad but True. The 'Fake' Politician becomes an exploiter of 'Political Power'. That's why 'Democratic Institutions' establish Democratic 'forms' of 'Institutions' and 'Laws' that 'structure' and 'helps' the 'Top of Power' to 'Govern the Many' at the Bottom. But, 'Govern' it must; it cannot 'Rule' because the 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom' of a Democracy retain their 'Freedom and Equality'. That makes the Democratic Form of Government, the Best. But, we cannot forget the 'Duties' and 'Responsibilities' of the 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom'; they must 'understand' and 'cherish' that 'Freedom' and 'Equality'. If they don't, it can be 'taken' away. 'Political Science' may not be a 'Science' but, it behooves us to be 'familiar' with it, 'lest we be deprived of our Equality and Freedom'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Theres always a 'Relation' between a 'Political Top' and a 'Political Bottom'.

There's always a 'Relation' between a 'Political Top' and a 'Political Bottom'. That relation is a 'Top/Bottom' Relation, but it also Runs from the 'Bottom' to the 'Top'. That Relation establishes a 'Form of Government'. That 'Form of Government' determines how the 'Relation Functions' and the 'distribution of Political Power' in the 'Form of Government'. For Example, an Autocracy has 'Power' at the Top and the Bottom is Governed by that Power. But, the Bottom does not have any power. In a 'Democratic Form' the 'People' at the Bottom are the 'essence of Government' and the 'essence' determines where the 'Power' is situated. In other words; the Relation of an Institutional Government is from the Top to the Bottom , but that same Relation also runs from the Bottom to the Top. The Relation runs both ways. The 'Bottom', or the People, exist in a 'Condition of togetherness'. But, The Bottom 'elects' a Representative to the Top who will Govern and authorizes Him/Her to 'Govern in accordance with the Structure established by the 'Constitution'. That's the Power of the Top. The 'Electoral Vote' transfers 'Political Power' from the 'Bottom to the Top', but only for a certain Period of Time. The Structure of the Government is established by the Constitution as a 'Three Branch' Form of Government and the Relation from the Top of that Structure to the Bottom of the Structure is the 'Relation that Governs'. In a Democracy, the Bottom relies on the Character, Qualifications, and the Political Knowledge of the Elected Top Officeholder. A Politician must be qualified to Govern. He, She, must posses the Qualifications of a 'Democratic Leader'. Since no Human Being, regardless Race, Color, or Creed, is 'Superior' to 'Another' Human Being, the Institution of Government 'becomes necessary', and the 'qualifications of the Leader' at the Top becomes 'very Important'. Political Knowledge of Democracy is vital to a Democratic Leader. A Leader who is not familiar with 'Political Ideology' cannot function as a Political Leader. That's the Problem with electing some 'CEO's and Businessmen' whose Lives 'solely function' with 'Business Principles'. There's nothing wrong with having knowledge of Business Principles, but they simply are not 'Political Principles', and that's the 'Problematic'. The 'Economic Motor' cannot 'Motor' a 'Political Entity'. They are separate functions and they 'Motor' different value systems. 'Money' must be kept out of 'Politics'. Where are the Real Politicians?

A 'Political Problematic' always involves that 'Ancient Problematic' known as the "One and the Many".

A Political Problem always involves that ancient 'Problematic' known as the "One and the Many". The Top of 'Political Power' has to be filled in with 'Political Institutions of Power'. Of course, there are many 'forms' a 'Governing Institution' can assume. In all cases 'The Top' is designed to either 'Govern' or 'Rule' the 'Bottom'. In a Democracy, the 'Bottom' is 'Governed', hence the Bottom is 'Institutionalized' into a 'Body Politic' that reflects the 'Institutions of a Democracy viz., Institutions of 'Freedom and Equality'. Its at that point, that the 'Power' issue is raised; how can a 'Political Top' govern a 'Multitudinous Bottom'; or, in historical terminology, which is that 'Ancient Problematic of the 'One' and the 'Many'. It took a long time for 'Social Institutions' to evolve. The earliest was the 'Family', 'a Group', 'a Tribe', 'larger Groups' and 'larger Tribes', until the stage was reached where 'States' and 'Nations' were established by 'Human Beings' and 'Constitutions'. They are 'described and Defined' as 'Political Entities' with 'Political Power' at the 'Top' that could 'Rule', or 'Govern'. Autocracy or 'Diluted Forms' of 'Autocracy', Rule; whereas; 'Democracies Govern'. Neither 'Ruling' nor 'Governing' is easy. But, the 'resolution' of a 'Political Problem' is always different. An Autocracy usually 'quashes' the Problem; a Democracy tries to 'Resolve' the problem, which also raises different issues. If a Democracy is being Driven by 'Economic Principles', how can that be 'transformed' back to being 'driven' by Political Principles of 'Freedom and Equality'? 'Democracy' cannot be 'driven' by 'Economic Principles' of 'More and More of the same', or by the 'Haves and the Have-Nots'. That's closer to Plutocracy, not Democracy. But, When that happens one begins to see 'Political Conflicts' occurring at the 'Top' between 'Officials' instead of at the 'Bottom' among the 'Many Peoples'. When 'Political Conflicts' ascend to the 'Top of Power', the 'Political Entity' is 'beginning' to 'unravel' and the 'Democratic form' of Government, Suffers. 'Petty Quarrels' and 'Maneuvers' begin to dominate the 'High Levels' of 'Political Language'. The Top 'lowers itself' to a 'Language and maneuvers' of a 'Backyard Barbeque' with its 'Backyard Language'. The 'Top' is no longer a 'Representative of the Bottom'; the 'Top' is transformed into a 'Few Individuals' that want to stay in 'Political Power'. 'Pettiness' overcomes 'Power'; and 'Real' Political Power 'weakens'. 'Plutocratic Egos' overcome 'Political Principles' and 'Political Language' and destroy Democracy. Where are the Real Politicians?

A Political Top of Power without a 'Political Language' cannot Govern. Is there such a thing as a 'Political Algorithm'?

A 'Political Top of Power' without a 'Political Language' cannot 'Govern'; its Top will not be 'Cohesive'. But, 'The People' at the Bottom need 'Governing', and the 'Language of Economics' will not suffice. Why not? Simply because that will 'launch' the 'Bottom' of the 'Political', or Social, into 'Economic Principles' of 'Haves' and 'Have-nots', or, more generally, 'economic Principles' that 'characterize' a 'Plutocracy' and that have 'no business' being utilized in a 'Political Democracy'. Well, a 'Top without control' is a 'Political Situation', and 'must be' corrected; a Social cannot be 'Governed' or 'stratified' solely by 'Economic Principles' and 'still claim' to be 'Democratic'. The 'Two systems', Government and Economics' are 'motored' differently and hence, will never have the 'same result'. Hence, we must be very careful. Is there such a thing as a 'Political Algorithm'? 'Algorithms' work, function, in the 'Universe of Computers'; can they work, function, in the 'Universe of Politics'? I have to admit, I'm not a 'Computer Geek' by any stretch of the Imagination, but Algorithms do work in conducting searches for Knowledge in a Computer. In a Democracy the Top of Power 'Represents' all the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom and certainly that can be 'quantified'. That resolves that ancient problematic of the 'One' and the 'Many'( The Top and the Bottom). Hence, a 'properly formulated' Algorithm. But, it must Govern with Equality and Freedom. Certainly, the Bottom can include 'each' and 'every' 'Real Individual' in its computation; that should also be easy to quantify. But, can 'Equality and Freedom' be computerized? That probably requires an algorithm that includes some kind of 'Institutional Set-Up' that 'insures' that 'Individual Freedom and Equality' to each 'Real Individual'. Oh well; I'll just leave this to someone else more versed in Computer Languages. Lets do it the 'old fashion' way, Where are the 'Real Politicians'? We need 'Real Politicians' versed in 'Democratic Principles' and not 'Economic Principles'. We need Politicians that can do the 'Talk' and the 'Walk'.

When the 'Political Top of Power' begins to unravel, 'Political language' 'loses' its 'Grip'.

When the 'Political Top of Power' begins to 'unravel', that's a sign that the 'Political Language' of Power is losing its 'Grip'. The only language that can hold the 'Integrity' of the 'Political', at the Top, is the 'Language of the Political'. In a Democracy, the Language of the Bottom 'cannot', or rather, 'should not', be used. Words like, "He's Toast'; 'Name Calling'; 'Rat infested Countries', Racial references; etc. all sound like 'Back Yard Barbeque' terms. That is not the Language of 'Democracy' and that is not 'Political in nature'. It may be 'proper' at the 'Bottom' at the 'level' of 'Common every day talk'. But, the language of Politics requires the Language of the Political. Governing is not the same thing as 'existing' and 'functioning' at the Bottom in the so-called 'daily Grind'. A Democracy needs the 'Political Language' of 'Real Democracy' and it must be spoken 'properly' and 'knowledgeably.'. 'Real Politicians' are, or 'should be', knowledgeable of the 'Language of Democracy'. If they can't 'talk it' chances are they 'can't 'do it'. Are You reminded of that 'comical quip', 'If you can't do the 'Talk' you can't do the Walk'. (there's many different ways of saying the same thing) When it comes to 'Politics' and the 'Language of Politics', the saying is 'not so comical'. Knowing the 'Language' of Politics is 'vitally important' for a 'Real Politician'; but He or She must also do the 'Walk' because they are 'Representatives' of the 'Peoples' at the 'Bottom'. Of course, I've already discussed the so-called 'Politically Correctness' that exists in Politics. That's an 'Empty Politics', a Politics that is 'Empty, Vacuous, and Insincere'. That can also be singled out in the so-called 'Doing the Talk'. But, political Language is essential to the 'Real Politician', so not being able to do the 'Talk' is already a 'disqualification' from being a 'Real Politician'. Someone like that, should not be in Office. There is no 'way' She or He can possibly do the 'Walk'. If they cant do the Talk, they cant do the Walk. When common every-day Language is used to 'attempt to Govern' a Nation, the 'Politics' of that 'Nation' is going to 'unravel'; not the 'Bottom' of the Nation, but the 'Top of Power' of the Nation. Of course, that will weaken the Nation as a 'whole'. The 'Top' will lose its 'Integrity' and when that 'goes', so will its Bottom. How sad; a Nation loses its Integrity because those who are at the Top of Power do not know 'how to Govern'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Governing a 'Democracy' is not easy; neither is living 'democratically'.

Governing a 'Democracy' is not easy; neither is Living 'democratically'. Its a 'Two-fold' effort. A Political 'Top' Governs according to the Constitutional Requirements and subsequent Political Institutions established by the Social and the Bottom lives and interacts in Equality and Freedom. Of course, the Political Parties have 'divided' the 'Political tensions' at the Bottom into two separate Political Ideologies. These Two Parties are 'more adversarial' than 'Complementary'; nevertheless, its an established system that 'attempts' to be Democratic. That's not too bad so long as the efforts remain in the direction of Democracy. Of course, a lot could be said about 'improving' the 'Political Process' but, the issue at this point is the 'Bottom of Democracy' and the 'efforts' made by 'Real Individuals' to live 'Democratically' at the Bottom. Its not easy because a normal 'Human Being' 'Feels and Knows' that 'She/he' are 'Equal' to all Other 'Humans' and 'Free' to do as She/he perceives and Understands Her/his Life. Of course, there are Laws and that means 'conforming conduct' to the 'acceptable' way of expressing that Equality and Freedom. If Laws do not conform to the 'very general' Constitutional Description of a democratic Society, they have to be changed and that change has to be 'Constitutional'. The Laws protect the Democratic Way of life and the Real Individuals have to live within the 'descriptive range' of a Democracy described by 'Linguistic Labels'. For this to occur, there must be an understanding of a Democratic Life. The Bottom can't just do anything it wants. That's why the Economy deserves close scrutiny at the 'Autocratic nature' of the Business Corporation. I do not mean that The Business corporation should function as a Democracy, and hence, not productive, but I do mean that Autocracy in the Business World must be accompanied by Governing of the 'Corporate nature' to insure its 'participation' in the 'Democratic Society' of which it is part. After all, its the Democratic nature of the Government and the Social that allows the Corporate Nature to be very Productive and hence Business Corporations should participate in the Democratic Spirit that allows them to exist. After all, there's a big difference between Democracy and Plutocracy. A Democratic Government should not allow 'Autocratic Principles' to 'seep' into 'Democratic Government' by allowing only the Rich, Millionaires, and Billionaires, to Run for Office. Where are the 'Real' Political Parties and where are the 'Real' Politicians?

If all 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom' are 'Equal', there cannot be any 'Racial Discrimination'.

If all 'Real' Individuals at the Bottom are 'Equal', there cannot be any 'Racial Discrimination'. Since 'Equality' is a reference to the 'Human Condition' everyone is considered to be equally 'Human'. There may be 'differences' in the Human Races but, in that case, the 'differences' do not apply to the 'Humanity' of the 'Real' Individual. 'Differences' apply to the 'color of skin', language, place of birth, or Other 'Sociological Traits' or characteristics . If 'all Human Beings' are 'Politically Equal', they are also 'Politically Free'. 'Equality and Freedom' are 'Political Terms' that apply to all 'Human Beings' living within the Political Entity. A Political Entity is a 'Human Institution' and as such cannot be Superior to a 'Natural Condition'. A Political Institution is merely an 'opportunity' to live with 'Others' in a 'Condition of Togetherness'. Regardless the differences in the 'characteristics' of the 'Human Condition', Racial Discrimination should not be tolerated. Racial Differences are not sociologically 'Superior' or 'Inferior'. We are all Politically 'Equal' and hence Politically 'Free'. 'Freedom and Equality', or, 'Equality and Freedom', characterizes the 'Social Conditions' of 'Living next to each Other' in a 'Condition of Togetherness' at the Bottom of a Political Entity. Of course, Political Freedom means Freedom within the 'confines' and 'directives' of 'Law'. A Political Entity must have Law to regulate the Interactions of its Citizens in the 'Social'. Hence, in a Democracy all Real Individuals are considered 'Equal and Free' and as such, cannot discriminate 'Racially' against each 'Other'. Equality and Freedom are 'characteristics' of every 'Real' Individual living within a 'Real' Democracy. But, a 'Real Democracy' needs 'Real Politicians'. Where are the 'Real Politicians'?

Have you ever heard of an 'Autocracy' tolerating 'Democratic activity' at the Bottom?

Have you ever heard of an Autocracy tolerating 'Democratic Activity' at the Bottom? If you have, Ill bet it didn't last long. Autocracy 'Rules' the Bottom and that usually means it 'demands' complete 'Fidelity'. Of course, one could always argue about degrees of 'Fidelity', but the fact is that when a 'Ruler Rules' 'She' or 'He' says what is 'acceptable' and what is not. In a 'Democracy' the 'Bottom' enjoys 'Equality and Freedom' in the 'Social'. Notice, that I put 'Equality' first and 'Freedom' second. Of course, the 'habituated form' of the words are usually 'Freedom and Equality'. I use that 'format' also but I'm being a little cautious, by placing 'Equality First'. Actually, the two Words are 'inseparable' and do not exist 'separately' in Political Discourse. If 'anyone' and 'everyone' is 'Equal' then each 'Equal Real Individual' is also 'Free'. My caution lies in the fact that 'Corporations' are accepted as being 'Legal Fictions', that exist 'only in contemplation of Law'. That means they're not Real. Hence, how can a 'Legal Fiction' be in the same 'Linguistic Category' as a 'Real Human Being' or a 'Real Individual'? And why are we to consider them as 'Persons' in 'contemplation of Law'. A Legal Structure(Corporation) is not 'even close' to being a 'Real Human Being'. Of course, they are 'Economic Entities' and do need 'some protections' as 'such'. But, the 'nature and function' of an 'Imaginary Legal Business Structure' is Autocratic to the core. They are not 'successful' because they're Democratic; They are successful because they're Autocratic. But the organization of the Economy is 'different' from the organization of the 'Democratic Polity'. Why not organize the Economy in 'Economic Terms' and 'Protect' the 'Business Corporation' in 'Economic terms' and stop calling Business Corporations 'Persons'. They are not even 'close' to being 'Real' and they certainly are not 'Persons'. If 'Autocracies' do not tolerate 'Democratic activity' at the 'Bottom', should 'Democracies' tolerate 'Autocratic activity' in the 'Economy' at the 'Bottom'? Its one thing to protect an 'Economic structure' by calling it a Legal Fiction, its 'another' to call that 'Fiction' a 'Person' in 'contemplation of Law' and give it Constitutional Protection. Where are the Real Politicians?

The 'Bottom' of a 'Democratic Polity' can divide into 'Political Parties', but both must be 'Democratic'.

The 'Bottom' of a 'Democratic Polity' can divide into 'Political Parties', but they must be 'Democratic'. Why is that the case? Simply because the Bottom can not be 'aspiring' to become 'Autocratic', or to 'transform' into any 'Other Form of Government'. But, how can a 'Real Democracy' become 'Autocratic'? Theoretically, it can't, but a Bottom of 'Freedom and Equality' is only 'Possible', because the 'Bottom' exists in a 'Real Democracy'. Hence, only a 'Real' Democratic Bottom of 'Freedom and Equality' can exist in a 'Real Democracy'. Hence 'No Division' into a 'Political Party' at the 'Bottom' can 'house' a 'Party' that 'espouses' 'Autocratic Rule' because 'Rule' is the 'anti-thesis' of 'Governing'. Democracies 'Govern'; they do not 'Rule'. But, the issue is not that simple. All Political Entities have an Economy and an Economy can be 'motored' by 'Capitalistic ends'. This is the 'place' where 'subtle' distinctions between 'Governing' and 'Ruling' begins to 'accumulate'. One 'Accumulation' favors 'Governing', the other 'Ruling'. If the 'Social focus' is on 'Economic Principles', to the 'exclusion' of 'Democratic Political Principles', the end result will be 'Autocratic'. Why?, because economic Principles in Capitalistic activities are solely 'motored' by 'Profits'. No Business Corporation will survive for long in a Capitalistic Social if that Corporation is not making a Profit. A Business Corporation must be driven by Profits. It 'must be' Profitable. However, if economic activity is 'kept separate' from Political Activity, then a Democratic Government of Freedom and Equality can continue to exist. Otherwise, it will be replaced by 'Capitalistic profits' which 'pushes' 'Democratic activity' into 'Autocratic activity' or an Autocratic Form of Rule. A Corporation 'Rules' its employees, it does not 'Govern' them. Governing is one thing, being Motored by Profits is another, and never should the 'twain' be confused. Both 'Entities', Government and Economy, need each Other, but they must be kept separate. A Government 'contains' an Economy and if an Economy ever 'contains' a Government, it will be Autocratic. But, how 'easily' do Political Principles 'slide' into Economic Principles and 'making more and more of the same', or Money? How easy is it to 'throw away' Freedom and Equality and transform it into the 'Motor' of 'having more and more of the same'? That's why, 'Political Parties' need to 'define themselves' and define the area of 'democratic activity' in which they are allowed to function. Any 'other approach' will be disastrous. If a Democratic Bottom continues to exist, we'll be ok, but if the 'Economy' takes over the 'Bottom', we're in trouble. Where are the 'Real Politicians'?

There is nothing 'inherently' wrong with dividing the Bottom into Political Parties,.....but....

There is nothing inherently wrong with dividing the Bottom of a Political Entity into Political Parties. But, in a Democracy, the division must constitute two 'different approaches' to 'doing Democracy'. Hence, the Parties would just have to justify the 'different approaches' to a 'Democratic Social'. A Real Democracy should actually have a 'multiplicity of approaches' to the constitution of a 'Democratic social'. However, if the Division is 'inherently' one between 'Haves' and 'Have-nots', or 'Racial' in Nature, the Division is not a proper division of a 'Democratic Bottom'. The Bottom of a Democracy is a 'Social' constituted by the democratic 'political values' of 'Freedom and Equality' among 'all' the 'constituents' at the 'Bottom'. Otherwise, the Parties are just 'hiding' the 'real significance' of the 'Division'. A 'Social' is unstable if it has 'Plutocratic' tendencies. Both 'Democratic terms' and 'Plutocratic terms' are references to 'Political Structures'. Of course, the 'Bottom' of these 'two structures' are different i.e. the Social in them is constituted differently. A 'Democracy' does not have a 'Plutocratic Top'. However, if the Top of a Democracy has a Bottom that is a 'plutocratic Social' i.e. a social 'motored' by 'Monies', 'Haves', Corporate Business Fictions, and a 'value system' of 'more and more of the same', it runs the 'danger' of becoming a 'Plutocracy'. In such cases, the 'subsequent election' becomes very important. Why? Because it could transform the 'Democratic Top' into a 'Plutocratic Top', or a 'Plutocratic Government'. The 'Irony' of this phenomena is that what makes this phenomena possible is the 'Freedom and Equality' of the Democratic Social. Said Freedom and Equality must be 'Appreciated' and 'Lived'. An individual should not claim to live in 'Freedom and Equality' and then only 'chase' the 'Holy Dollar' as if it was the 'cement' that holds the 'Social' together. Freedom and Equality are just as 'Real' as the 'Dollar'. One cannot 'buy things' and 'own things' with 'Them', but they make 'buying' and 'owning' possible and the 'Social Structuring' of the 'Top and the Bottom' in a 'Real Democracy'. But, it is important to 'value' and 'implement' this 'Freedom and Equality' to protect the 'existing Democracy'. For this to occur, we must implement 'Both' in our Governmental System and we must 'Govern' with Political Principles of Democracy and not with 'Economic Principles' of the Economy. Hence, all Political Parties in a Democracy must emphasize 'democratic Principles' and not 'Economic Principles'. We are not 'Plutocratic', we are 'Democratic'. Where are the Real Politicians?

The 'Bottom' of our 'Democratic Entity' has been splintered into 'Political Parties', and an 'Inhuman Condition'.

The 'Bottom' of our 'Democratic Political Entity' has been 'splintered' into 'Political Parties' and an 'Inhuman Condition'. The first aspect of the splinter is Political in Nature. Of course, this 'Cleft' could have been between the 'Differences' and the 'best manner' of achieving a 'True Democracy'. Both Parties could have stuck to the 'nature' of the Cleavage, which was purely Political and which might have really helped the 'achievement of a Real Democracy'. But, was that the case? Take an Example; the issue of some kind of Gun Control. The 'news' clearly shows that Individuals are shooting other 'Individuals', but not only that, but also shooting Individuals within 'Large Groups', and including 'Bystanders'. Well, that's not good and 'completely prohibiting Individuals from owning Guns for their own 'self and Home-protection' would not be a solution. In all cases the evidence shows that the Perpetrators have 'Automatic Weapons', or 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'. These weapons are weapons of War, not weapons of Individual self-defense. How does an Individual acquire weapons of War in a Democratic Social? Where are the Political Parties? All attempts to limit these killings has failed. If these weapons are allowed in the 'Social' and at 'Home', they should not be 'Weapons of War' or Automatic Weapons of Mass Destruction' and the attempt to treat 'mental illness' and the 'Personalities' of the 'Perpetrators', 'early', is ridiculous and silly. Any Individual can get a hold of a weapon and hurt someone. But, the fact that an 'Individual' can be 'armed' so as to shoot 'large groups' or 'Twenty Individuals' or 'Bystanders' within 'Seconds' is absurd. Those weapons are for 'War and Mayhem' and treating 'mental Illness' is not the solution. The only solution is to limit the 'Production' and 'Availability' of those Weapons to 'Law Enforcement Departments' and 'Military Departments'. The solution is simple. Don't sell to just any Individual. Those weapons are not necessary for 'Target Shooting', 'Hunting', or 'Personal Defense' or 'Self-Defense', and their availability to just 'anyone' 'who wants one' is ridiculous and motivated by 'Economic Motives' and not by 'Democratic' or 'Moral Motives'. Where are the Political Parties? It would be simple for them to enact Laws prohibiting the 'availability' and 'sale' of these Weapons to any 'Tom, Dick, or Harry' who just wants one. If the availability of these weapons is not controlled, these atrocities will continue. That is 'Inhumane' and 'Asinine'. Why don't the Political Parties do something that is not completely motivated by 'Economic considerations? Where are the Real Politicians? Is it really possible that our 'Leaders' do not know how to limit the circulation of these Weapons? I don't think so. But, that's what happens when we are 'Governed' by 'Economic Principles', or an 'Economic Motor' instead of 'Democratic' Political Principles. Politics is not a 'Business' and should be motivated by 'Political Principles' of 'Freedom and Equality' and not by the 'Profit Principle'. Where are the Real Politicians?

One cannot 'organize' the 'Human Condition' into a 'Polity' without protecting its 'Freedom and Equality'.

One cannot 'organize' the 'Human Condition' into a 'Political Polity', without protecting its 'Freedom' and Equality'. All 'Political Structures' are 'Institutional' or 'Man Made' and all 'Real Individuals' are 'Nature Made', or 'Natural'. Hence, all 'Natural Individuals' must be 'Respected' and their 'Nature' must be 'Protected'. Hence, an Individuals 'Freedom and Equality' must be protected in any Political, Institutional, Structure for the simple reason that it is only an 'Institution' and not a product of 'Nature'. Man-made Institutions do not have to exist, but when they do, its because they have become 'Institutionally necessary'. Hence, the Institutional organizations of a 'Polity' has a 'Duty' to Protect and Preserve the 'Natural Freedom and Equality' of all the Real Individuals in the Polity. Any Polity that disrespects or fails to protect the 'Natural Condition' and the 'Values' of the 'Human Condition' is not a 'Democratic Polity'. Having said that, it becomes easier to conceptualize the usual dilemmas of Human beings having to exist within Political Entities. All Political 'Tops' have 'Political Power', but that 'Power' is 'Institutional' and 'only' Institutional. The Bottom of the Entity has a 'condition of togetherness', where all 'Real Individuals' have 'Freedom and Equality'. The Top Governs and 'only' Governs a Nation 'Politically' and 'Represents' it on the 'International' sphere. All the real Individuals at The Bottom of every Democratic Polity 'must' be Free and Equal. Failing that, the Nation and its 'Bottom' or 'Social' is transforming into a 'Plutocracy'. That means that the Economy; its Institutions, its 'Language', dominates the Political Entity and its 'Political Discourse'. A Political Entity 'transforms' into an 'Economic Entity' and its accompanying Linguistic usage of 'more and more of the Same', and the 'childish' attitude expressed in the 'childish saying', "My Dad has more Money than your Dad". 'Nature' cannot be changed; but, 'Institutions' surely can. Where are the Real Politicians?

Maybe Computerization can 'facilitate' a real 'Freedom and Equality'.

Maybe, Computerization can 'facilitate' a 'Real' Freedom and Equality. But in order to work in that direction, the 'Economic dialogue' and 'value system' of "More and More of the Same" ( Money) that dominates the 'Social' and helps create 'economic classes', needs to change into a 'Real Political Dialogue' of 'Freedom' and 'Equality'. The 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Political Entity' has become 'jaded' to 'Real' Freedom and Equality and no longer seems to be able to 'experience' them in a 'genuine sense'. The 'Domineering influence' of Economic values has 'transformed' the Social into a 'Plutocratic Social'; a 'Plutocratic Social' within a 'Democratic Polity'. A Social 'peopled' with 'Legal Fictions' and the 'Rich' and the 'Very Rich'. What happened? The Bottom i.e. the 'Many'; the 'People' allowed it to happen and 'More and More of the Same' is 'easy' for a 'mechanized' Corporate Economy. But a mechanized Economy needs employees to operate the machines. But, computation can also operate the machines at 'No' to 'Negligible cost', hence, 'operating expenses' are much lower and 'employees' become unnecessary and hence 'cost of production' is reduced. 'Corporate Fictions' can then help provide the 'Democratic Social' with 'essential needs'. After all, if the Corporation is a 'Legal Fiction' and exists 'only' in 'Contemplation of Law', it should also have 'Democratic Duties', as do all Human Beings in the Social. This kind of 'economic move' can help 'Americanize Legal Fictions' from a condition of just being a Huge 'Money Making Machine' to an 'improved level' of 'American citizenship'. We've already said that 'Legal Fictions', if they're going to exist, need more 'Democratic Duties'. Well, Computerization may help. But, the 'Dialogue of Economics', of a 'Plutocratic Social' must change to a 'Political Dialogue' of 'Democratic Governing' and 'Real Freedom and Real Equality' of the 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom of the Polity'. The Richest Nation in the World should not have People who are Hungry, Homeless, and not provided with the 'essential living conditions' and 'Medical needs' of a Democratic Social. Where are the Real Politicians?

How does a 'Democratic Society' transform into an 'Economic Society'?

How does a 'Democratic Society' transform into an 'Economic Society'? Of course, we are still a 'Democratic Polity', but how does the Linguistic Usage of Economics 'dominate' the Democratic 'Political' Dialogue? Or, stated differently, how do People become more 'concerned' with 'Possessions and Money' status and 'Racial Status' than with 'Freedom and Equality'? The distinction is 'subtle' but if we could listen and 'Hear', all at once, the 'Political' conversations of the 'Top', it would have an 'Economic resonance' of 'Money and Possessions', an Economic 'Standard'. Economic Values dominate the Political conversation. Do Individuals who seek High Office in a Democracy focus on Democratic Values or Economic values? Of course, those two factors are difficult to 'isolate' and 'weigh', on any one occasion, but the 'general tenor' of some 'political Conduct' can be 'sensed' in some Individuals and the 'main concern' appears to be 'Economic'. The Economy is 'important' but, where is Freedom and Equality? The emphasis on the economic has helped create 'Economic Classes' and the 'favorable' treatment of the Tax Rates of 'Corporate Fictions' is an insult to the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Real' Individual. The 'economic Legal Fictions' are favored over the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom of a Real Democratic Social. That 'conversation' has created the 'Haves' and 'Have-nots', the Rich and the Poor. Now, please understand, I'm not against Economics, but all the 'advances' in the Economy have been facilitated because we live in a Democracy. The 'Political Conversation' should be on Democracy, not Economics. Today, with the advances in 'Computerization', the possibility of 'equalizing' Production and especially 'costs' has become possible and some inroads into that technology has been made possible. Hence, we must 'make room' for the 'Democratic Dialogue' to 'balance' the 'inequalities' in the Social and the Economy. Today, with Computerization, 'Real' Equality has become possible. But, 'that Dialogue' cannot take place in an 'unfairly structured' 'Economic Social'. Lets change the 'Real Politics' to a 'Real' Political Dialogue. Lets go back to 'real' Politics of 'Real' Freedom and 'Real' Equality. Where are the Real Politicians?

The Language of Politics is 'now very different' from the language of Economics.

The Language of 'Democratic Politics' differs from the Language of 'Economics'. The 'Institutional Function' of 'each' is different. The 'language' of Democratic Politics is 'held together' with the 'Constitutional Freedom and Equality' of Each and Every Living Individual in the Social. The language of Economics is 'held together' with the 'Value System' of Profits. A Corporate Society that makes 'no Profits' does not Exist. 'Democratic Politics' involves the 'Institutionalization' and the 'Legalization of Freedom and Equality'. No small task. The Economy, being very important to a Democracy, is 'Populated' with 'Legal Fictions' that are considered 'Legal Persons' and who are protected by the 'Constitution'. Those 'Economic Fictions', to wit, the 'Business Corporation', is a 'money making' Machine 'designed' to 'Produce' Maximum Profits. But Machinic Production has become 'Computerized' and hence the 'Real Individual' is no longer required to function as a 'Worker'. The Assembly Line has been replaced by the Computer. Of course, not all production is Machinic; nevertheless, 'Machinic Production has lessened the requirement of 'Real Workers' in the Economy. The Workers 'now required' must be 'Educated' in the 'Machinic Functioning' of the 'Modernized Economy'. But, the Computerization of some of the economic activity normally required for production now allows for 'Faster' and 'much more' Productivity and, I might add, 'Cheaper Production' because of the 'Lessening of the Work Force' and the 'Repeatability' of the 'Computational Functions. One 'Good Machine' or 'Computer' can now duplicate the 'Production activity' at a 'Faster Rate' and at a 'much Lesser Cost'. The language of Governing with Freedom and Equality is being hampered with 'Racial Discrimination' and the Economy is being 'magnified' with 'Computer Language' and their 'Tax Liability' is being Lowered. The 'productivity' that results from 'Computation' and the 'Tax reduction' of the 'Corporate Person' ( Legal Fiction) indicates that we live in a Society where 'profits' are more important then 'Freedom and Equality'. Where did 'Democracy Go' and where are the Real Politicians?

The 'Political Pulse' of a Nation involves a 'Language' between the 'Top' and the 'Bottom'.

The 'Political Pulse' of a 'Democratic Nation' involves a 'Political Language' between the 'Top of Power' and the 'Bottom', where the People live in a 'Condition of Togetherness'. That 'Political Relation' is necessary because the Top always 'Represents' the Bottom. Of course, the Bottom always has its own Language, to wit; the Language of 'everyday affairs' as expressed in 'Freedom' and 'Equality' of 'Every-One' in the 'Social Condition' of 'Togetherness'. The Top also has its Language; the Language of a 'Political Entity' as it 'Governs' and as it 'interacts' with 'Other, some 'Different', 'Political Entities' in the 'World'. But, there's a Relation that goes from the Top to the Bottom of a Democracy. The Bottom is peopled with Millions of Real Individuals and there must be communication between the Top and the Bottom of a Democracy, because the Top Represents the People and, its always the 'Bottom' that 'Fights' for 'their Country'. The point I'm trying to make is that there is a 'Language' and a 'behavior' at the 'Top' that 'differs' from the 'Language and Behavior' at the 'Bottom'. A 'Political leader' should never be ignorant of that distinction and a 'Leader' should be 'proficient' in the 'Language' of 'Politics' as well as, familiar, with the Language of 'Every-day Affairs'. But, one cannot 'mix' the language of 'Domestic Personal Affairs' with the 'Language' of a 'Democratic Political Entity' that 'Governs'. A Leader 'Represents' 'his' or 'her' People on the 'National Sphere', or, he represents the 'Nation' on the 'International Sphere'. In either case, He or She must use Political Language to 'Govern' or to 'Represent' the Nation in 'International Affairs'. But, the Language of 'Daily Affairs' is not, in either case, a Political language. A Political Position calls for a Political Language and when a Leader's Language condescends to the Level of a 'Daily Gossip Column', that Language clearly indicates that 'She' or 'He' should not be in a position of 'Leadership'. Political Language has already been contaminated with 'Economic Language' and 'Economic Values' and now we must add, the Language of 'Gossip', 'name calling', or even using 'Nick-Names'. How sad. A 'Political Entity' condescends to the 'Linguistic Level' of 'Every-Day Affairs'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Why does the 'Top' of a 'Political Entity' sound like the 'Bottom' of a 'Political Entity'?

Why does the 'Top' of a 'Political Entity' sound like the 'Bottom' of a 'Political Entity'? Because the Political Entity is a Real Democracy. A Real Democracy has a Bottom and that Bottom is constituted of Millions of real Individuals. The Top of a Democracy Represents all the Individuals who are situated at the Bottom. It is 'they' who transfer real 'Political Power' to the 'Top' by the electoral Process. In a Democracy, the Top has no other reason for existing except to Represent all the Real People at the Bottom. Hence, the 'Tops' only functions as a Political 'Site' for 'Government and Political Power'. Other than that, there is no reason to have a 'Top'. But, that transfer of 'Power' to the 'Representatives at the Top' is coupled with a 'Political Language'. That 'Political Language' involves the 'exercise of Power' and the 'necessary Language' to express that process and to 'implement' a 'Real Democracy'; one that protects the 'Freedom' and 'Equality' of all the Real Individuals and the 'Institutions' of a Democratic Nation. So, why are we hearing the Top using the 'Language of the Bottom'? Simple. The 'Top' is 'not occupied' by 'Real Politicians' who can 'Do Politics', 'Talk Democracy', and 'Do Democracy', and 'Act' for the 'benefit' of the 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom', viz., for You and I. School Yard swearing matches, name calling, Racial distinctions, will not function in a Real Democracy. Neither will Rich vs Poor. Democratic Politics is for those who are 'Unselfish' and who have the 'General Welfare' of the 'Other Human beings' in the 'Nation'. Politics is about a 'Representative Function', but a very 'knowledgeable' function, one that is perceptible when one gazes at the Top of Political Power and sees an 'Unselfish Representative' who is "promoting the General Welfare". Where are the Real Politicians?

The Political Top of Power has lost its Mobility, Efficiency, and 'sense' of Purpose.

The Political Top of Power has lost its 'Mobility', 'Efficiency', and sense of 'Purpose'. It has lost its 'Political Grasp' of the 'Many'. A Political Language is a General Language that includes the 'Many' in its 'Generality' and the 'Specificity' of the Individuals in their 'Condition of Togetherness'. A Political Language is also an International Language. As such, it always includes the International Sphere because the 'International Sphere' includes Other 'Political Power Structures' and 'Individuals'. When a Top loses its ability to use a Political Language, it cannot function on the 'National' or 'International Sphere'. The end-result will be a loss of 'Reputation' on the 'International Sphere' and a loss of 'function' on the 'National Sphere'. The 'National' will become 'dis-functional' and the 'International' will be perceived as 'Weak'. A Nation should never be Weak for the simple reason that it cannot speak the proper 'Language of Politics'. That's why we need a 'Real Politician' at the helm. Navigating Political Waters cannot be achieved by using the language of 'Back-Yard Brawls'. It takes a 'Real Politician', not a Businessman to drive the Ship of State. When the Political Top uses the language of the Bottom to 'drive' the Ship of State, its headed towards 'murky Waters'. The Language of the Bottom cannot drive a Political Entity of Power. A Political Entity needs a vocabulary of Politics, Generality, and respect for the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom'. A Democratic Political Top of Power is 'never' Greedy, or Self-Serving. Its there to 'Serve' the 'People', not to Rule them, nor to 'speak' the language of 'Back-Yard Brawls'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Sad. The 'Top' no longer has a 'Proper Language' to 'steer' a Nation with 'Diversity at the Bottom'.

Sad, the Top no longer has a 'Proper Language' to steer a Nation with 'Diversity at the Bottom'. A 'Real Democracy' has a 'Diverse population' at the 'Bottom'. The most important characteristic of such a Democratic Bottom is the different Races, Peoples, and belief systems at the Bottom. It is inevitable that 'Political aspirations' 'would' and 'should' motivate 'any' and 'All Different Peoples' at the Bottom. That's what democracy is all about. The language of the Constitution states We the People...in Order to form a more perfect Union,...promote the general Welfare....etc. It does not say, We the 'Democrats' or We the 'Republicans'. Its a 'People Thing', not a 'Political Party' Thing. Individuals who hold 'Political Office' should be very much aware of the fact that they only 'Represent' the People at the Bottom. They have no other function. But they're using the language of the bottom, incorporating 'Racial slurs', etc. and combining it with the 'Language of Advertising' to persuade and to create demands at the Bottom that should not have a 'Right to exist'. Public Office Holders should fight for the Freedom and Equality of everyone at the Bottom. Instead, they have 'escalated', 'elevated' and increased the 'temperature' of the every-day 'Language' of 'Hate', 'Criticism', and 'Racial Prejudices' to 'color' the so-called 'Political Language' of a Political Democracy. And all this, to Win an Election. That is not a Language of Democracy; its not a language of 'Freedom and Equality'. If the Representatives at the Top do not represent all the Real People at the Bottom, the Bottom is without 'Voice' or 'Representation'. The Bottom is not being 'Governed'; and those who 'choose' to 'Run for Office' are being 'Insulted'. That is not Democracy and the sad part is that the Individuals in 'Public Office' are the ones 'perpetuating the destruction' of the Democracy that 'elected them'. Where are the Real Politicians?

The 'Political Pulse' changes daily; but today, the Political language of the Top has been replaced by the 'Language of the Bottom'.

The 'Political Pulse' changes daily; but today, the Democratic 'Political language' of the Top has been 'replaced' by the 'Political Language' of the Bottom. How strange, what was once 'spoken' at the 'Bottom' by the 'Individual Person' is now 'used' at the 'Top'; and it is being used by Individuals in Public 'Office'. It seems as if the 'Formality of Office' or 'linguistic propriety' expected from Political Office holders is no longer implemented. Why is that? 'Political Office requires 'Political Knowledge' and 'Political Language'. No one would run for Office if She or he did not know what Politics is about. But, be careful, I do not mean being 'Politically Correct'. That is hypocrisy, Politically Vacuous, and insincere. I refer to a genuine sense of 'Serving a Nation' and the 'Many People' at the Bottom. 'Political Activity' can only be 'functional' and be 'described' on a certain 'level of Propriety'. Political Language is about 'Governing', not 'Ruling'. There are no Rulers in a Democracy, and there should be no CEO's, or 'Business Minded Office Holders'. Business is not 'Democratic'. Business is about 'Profits'; not about 'Democratic Political Policy'. Businessmen do not Govern 'Political Entities'. They 'Own and Run' Business Corporations, or, more accurately, 'Legal Fictions'. Today we 'Hear and See' 'High Office Holders' arguing like children at some 'Back-Yard barbeque', instead of a 'Political debate' about 'Democratic Values'. I refer to 'Name-calling', 'Direct and Indirect Racial referencing', and 'Petty Party criticism'. The 'Bottom' of the Nation is being divided and the Division is being caused by the 'Language' being used at the Top. How sad; A 'Political Top', a place of 'Political Power', that should be concerned with the 'Many Real Individuals' at the Bottom, in the Social, who form an 'Integrated Society'. The 'Integrity of the Nation' is at risk. Instead of 'correcting' the Racial Divide, the economic 'Class Consciousness', or the divisions of the 'Haves' and 'Have-nots', Individuals in Offices of Political Power are contributing to the further 'attenuation' of the 'Political Relation' that connects the 'Top and the Bottom', or, the 'One' and the 'Many'. That 'attenuation' destroys 'Real Democracy'. That attenuation separates the 'Top' from the 'Bottom' and those 'Real Individuals', at the 'Bottom', find themselves 'navigating' the 'Social' without a 'Real Government'. Where are the Real Politicians?

How Sad. Remember when 'People' were encouraged to 'Immigrate' to the U.S.: now, Immigration has become a Problem.

Remember when 'People' were encouraged to 'Immigrate' to the U.S.?: now, Immigration has become a Problem. Like 'Socialism', 'Immigration' has gotten a 'Bad name'. What has happened to these 'old Political concepts'. Once Immigrating to the U.S., was a 'Good Thing'. Of course, todays use of the term 'Socialism' is not the same as the 'older concept' of a 'Nation owning the 'means of Production'. Today the term is used to refer to the 'Social' as an 'Institutional place' where all the Institutions and 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom are situated. Immigrants are still allowed to come in so long as the proper Procedure is followed and the term Social is used, generally, as a reference to the Individuals, both Real and Fictional, at the Bottom of the Political Entity. What happened? The old metaphor of " We are all in the same Boat" no longer seems to apply and rightfully so. Today, its more like "we are all on the same Planet". Its a larger place; it involves many different 'Peoples' from different Nations and different Races. Why are our "so called Politicians" unmindful of that fact? Our 'World' has become 'larger' and 'smaller' at the same time, because of 'Technology' and many 'Political issues' cross 'National Boundaries'. Why isn't the United Nations involved? 'Political Issues' have changed. National Boundaries have become 'less necessary' and more Human cooperation has 'become essential'. That situation calls for 'relaxing National Boundaries' and not 'Building Walls' to encourage 'Political Isolation'. How arrogant to think any one 'particular Nation' or 'race' is entitled to the 'Planet' we live on. 'Technology' has 'enlarged' our 'perception and experience' of the 'World' we live on. Why hasn't our 'Political Knowledge' kept up with the 'changing World'? How sad, it seems that as the 'Political World' changes and should become more 'Unified', the 'Human Condition' falters and becomes less 'Human'. As 'Politics changes', the 'Human Condition' changes for the worse. National Boundaries were created to establish 'National Identities', not to create 'Haves' and 'Have-nots' among 'Nations' on the Political Stage. All Human Beings are the Same and All are 'Free and Equal'. Why do we lock up Men, Women, and Children, just because they are "Immigrants"; and Why are Nations, 'all Nations'; so against the 'Human Condition'? Where are the 'Real Leaders' and the 'Real Politicians'?

An 'Unstable' Top of Power cannot 'emit' Power.

The Political 'Top' cannot 'emit' Power if its Unstable. A Political Top is always a Top of Political Power. A Political Entity is stable to the extent it 'manifests stability' at the Top. That's why the Autocratic Form of Government is deemed to be a very Powerful 'Political Entity'. In an Autocracy, all the Power is at the Top. An Autocrat merely 'eliminates' the 'obstacle' creating whatever 'instability' may exist. However, a Democracy has Political Power at the Bottom when the 'Bottom' is considered 'Free and Equal' and when that Social is Institutionally established in such manner as to both, 'express and manifest' that 'Power' or 'Unity'. Of course, in a Democracy the Power of the Bottom is transferred to the Top. But, the Political Top is expected to manifest its Power in the manner in which it 'establishes', 'organizes' and 'manifests' the 'Social Stability' in the Political Entity. That requires a certain 'coherence' between the 'Top' and the 'Bottom' which 'manifests' and becomes 'evident' at the 'Top'. In such a case, the 'Top of Power' in a 'Democracy' emits 'Political Power'. The Top is always 'Institutional' and 'reflects' the 'Power of the Many' in a 'condition of togetherness', or, 'the People'( "WE The People") as a Whole. Hence, the 'Top is Powerful'. But, consider a Political Top that always 'bickers' with the Other Agencies, Departments, and Branches of Government, and is 'acting' as if he was still 'at the Bottom', and is trying to establish his own 'self-importance', and reflects his own 'instability', and 'engages' and is 'accused of engaging' in questionable activities; that is a sign of 'Personal Instability'. That does not occur often. When it does, it weakens the 'Top of Power' which should manifest Political Power at the 'Top'. An 'unstable Top' cannot emit 'Political Power' in an 'Institutional Entity'. An 'Unstable Top' does not emit 'Political Power', it emits weakness, Instability, and uncertainty. Where are the Real Politicians?

Democratic Government is Government "of all the People" and all of their 'Social Institutions'.

Democratic Government is Government "of all the People"; and 'all their Social Institutions'. That includes all the 'Social', 'Political', and 'Economic' Institutions 'established' to make Government 'functional' as a 'Democracy'. A Democracy should not 'only' be 'Functional', it must establish all 'necessary Institutions' to 'insure' that 'Real Democracy' has an 'Institutional foundation' for the 'materialization of a 'Real Democracy'. Of course, that includes the 'Economic arrangements' and 'functions' within Society. The 'Primary' concern of a Democracy is the 'Freedom and Equality' of all the 'real Individuals' in the 'Social'. Of course, that includes the Real Individuals in the Economy also, but the Government saw fit to 'create Legal Fictions' in the Economy and those Fictions are also to be considered 'Persons' and are Protected, as such, by the Constitution. The Judicial Branch of the Government protects those 'Persons' as Legal Fictions that exist "only in contemplation of law". The end result of that has been that no Real Human being can compete with a Corporation; or produce more than a Corporation. What happened to the Equality of the Real Individuals? Well, we could stretch a little and say, OK, so the 'Real' works alongside the 'Legal Fiction', but why not also protect the 'Real' from the 'Fictional'. Today, those fictions also produce huge 'imbalances' in the Economy by contributing to the creation of Economic Classes. Recently they even had their Tax Liability Reduced. Of course, that only applies to the Legal Fictions. So, we have a scenario where the 'Government' creates 'Legal Fictions' and then 'protects' them as 'Persons' and then does 'not require' them to pay their 'share of Taxes. There is no problem with creating 'Money Making Machines' so long as one creates 'Protections' for the 'Real Human beings' from them also and from the 'creation' of huge 'Economic classes'. And who creates this mess; the Government? Which Government? The 'Democratic One' or the 'Republican One'? Rest easy, there is no Distinction in 'Real Governing'; there is only Governing 'Real People' and 'Real necessary Institutions' that are motored by 'Freedom and Equality'. Unfortunately, the 'Political Parties' only play 'Political Games' which are 'motored by Money'. How Sad. Where are the Real Politicians?

Government is essential; Corporations are also essential; but each is 'Motored' differently.

Government is essential; Corporations are also essential; but, each is 'Motored differently'. Each must retain its separate Identity and each must be 'motored' differently. One 'Governs' Real Individuals at the Bottom of the 'Political Entity'. That's what in old times was called the 'One', and the 'Many' makes 'Profits' purportedly to create a 'balanced Economy'; that's what in old times was called the 'Many', but today it includes the Business Corporations. 'Each' has a purpose and each must function according to its nature and each must retain their 'Separate Identity', but 'never shall the Twain Meet'. Mixing the 'Motors' creates havoc in the Political Entity and in the 'so-called' Autonomous Economy. Mixing creates 'an effect' of intermixing 'Profits' with 'Governing'. That disables a Democratic Government and it does not balance the Economy. In fact, it creates a 'Plutocratic' or 'Oligarchic' condition in the 'Halls of Government' which 'changes' the characteristics of a 'Real Democracy'. A Democratic Government cannot be motored with 'Profits', and a 'Balanced Economy', cannot exist in a 'Plutocratic' or 'Oligarchic' Polity. Freedom and Equality cannot be mixed with 'Greed' in a Democracy. 'Greed' or 'Economic Greed' eventually calcifies into 'Plutocracy' or 'Oligarchy'. It creates 'Haves' and 'Have nots' and in such cases democracy cannot flourish. Freedom and Equality go out the Window, and Greed 'Flourishes' in the 'Haves' and the 'Corporate Economy'. 'Legal Fiction' overcomes 'Law and Order'. Where are the Real Politicians?

A 'Government' cannot exist without 'the Governed'.

A 'Government' cannot exist without 'the Governed'. A Government has 'Political Power', but one must always ask 'over what or whom'. Since a Government is not a 'Natural Phenomena', its an 'Institutional Phenomena', the issue always becomes, 'What' or 'Who' does it Govern? Of course, everyone agrees that a Government Governs 'Its People', and that a Democratic 'Government' was established at a 'Constitutional Convention', being called and organized by 'The People' to be 'Governed'. In other words, the 'Governed' created the 'Government'. Once created, the Government must establish the 'Social institutions' that will hold 'The People', or the 'Governed', together in a 'Condition of Integrity'. That's why a Democracy is a 'Social Institution' held together with 'Law' and 'Order'. The law creates an 'Orderly Social', or a Social governing the 'everyday interactions' of the 'People' while protecting their 'Freedom and Equality'. Without law there would be chaos. With Law, there is 'Social Order'. So, the next question is if a Business Corporation is considered 'a Person' by the Courts, and is protected by the Constitution and Law, why are there no requirements compelling a 'Legal Fiction' to act like a Democratic Citizen? Why does an Economic legal Fiction get protected but is not given any Democratic, Social Duties? All 'Human Citizens' have their 'Freedom and Equality' protected, but they are also required to 'abide by Law'. They are required to be 'Good Citizens', or pay the price. So, why are Money Making Legal Fictions created by Law? They create an Economic Imbalance that benefits the Rich, wealthy Individuals only and not the 'Economy' as a whole. The Business Corporation needs to contribute to the Democracy that allowed for their creation and they should also be 'Good Economic Institutions' that contribute to a more 'Balanced Economy'.

No democratic 'Political office' can drive a 'Political Entity' with Economic Principles.

No democratic 'Political Office' can drive a 'Political Entity' with 'Economic Principles'. Of course, the reason for that is that a Business Corporate Entity 'incorporated' for the purpose of 'making Profits' is never focused on the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Individuals' at the Bottom of the Entity. Its sole and 'primary purpose' for 'existence' is to make a Profit. The corporate Structure gives it Focus, Size, and hence, a Sole purpose for Existing in the Economic Sector. But, 'Business Principles' as 'Business Principles' should 'never' get involved in the Political Sector. Why not? Because, they contribute to the 'Economic Welfare' of the 'Nation' and not the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom. A Democratic nation must be driven by Political Principles not business Principles. Its very easy to mix the Two under the guise that it will help the Nation as a Polity. Don't kid yourself. Business Principles are 'Dictatorial' in Nature, not 'democratic', and are designed to be 'Profitable'. They do not contribute to the Freedom and Equality of the 'Real Individuals' in the Polity. A 'Political Office' requires the implementation of Democratic 'Political Principles' at the Bottom of the Polity. Principles and programs that help alleviate 'Racial Discrimination; Huge Economic Inequalities; and hopefully gets us out of the 'mental Framework' that we are a 'Corporate Society'. We are a Society of 'Real Individuals' and not a Society of 'Corporate Fictions'. Corporations make Huge Profits but they 'should also' implement 'Democratic Values'. We need to 'work' on that 'weakness'. After all, we are a 'Democratic Society'.

If Legal Fictions are "Persons", for Reasons of Economic Protection, why not also give them "Democratic Duties"?

If 'Business Corporations' are 'Legal Fictions' and are to be considered "Persons", for Reasons of 'Economic Protection', why not also give them "Democratic Duties"? After all, they are 'Total Fictional Creations' and hence, not 'Real'. But, the 'Bottom' of a 'Polity' is composed of 'Real Individuals' and hence their 'Birth-Right' of 'Freedom and Equality' must be 'Protected'. The Bottom, constituted of Real Individuals, have Democratic 'Duties', such as being 'Law Abiding', and of 'Participating in Elections'. Of course, Real Individuals are 'born Free and Equal'. No 'Political form' can take that away from them because the 'Polity' is a 'Man made Construction'. Its not a 'Natural Phenomena'. Its an Institution, its 'Human Made', and as 'Such' should have the 'Acquiescence' of the 'Bottom' or the 'Governed'. Why? Because the 'Bottom' of the Polity is the 'source' of the 'Political Power' transferred to the 'Top of a Democratic Political Institution'. No 'Human Institution', 'Political' or 'Otherwise', can deprive a 'Real human Being' of His/Her 'Natural Freedom and Equality'. So, back to the Issue. If Business Corporations are to be considered as Economic 'Persons' and are Protected by the Constitution, as such, why not also require them to 'give back' to the 'Democracy' that allowed them to 'Arise'. Certainly, a Corporation could have a 'Department' whose Function would be to protect the 'Democratic Spirit' that allowed for their 'arising' or 'creation'. In that way, the Corporation can also be a 'Good Citizen' as well as a 'Machine for making Profits'. That should be a 'Requirement', in the Corporate Charters of all 'Business Corporations'. A Democratic Economy needs to 'achieve balance' as best as possible. The way the Business Corporation is 'created' and the 'Protection' it gets from the Constitution, as a Profit making machine, creates an 'Imbalanced Economy'. Business Corporations can be 'Great Profit making Machines', but they should also be 'Good Citizens'. If the Constitution can Protect them as 'Persons', it can also 'require them' to be 'Good Citizens'. The 'Economy' needs to be 'more Balanced' in order to 'Equalize' the 'Injustices' that occur in being a 'Lopsided Monstrosity'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politicians need to stop, just being 'Politically Correct'; and start being 'Real Politicians'.

Politicians need to stop, just being 'Politically Correct'; and start being 'Real Politicians'. And what might that entail? Well, being 'Politically Correct' might be a start, but that's not whats 'required'. The 'real Requirement' is a complete 'understanding' of the 'Nature' of a 'Political Entity'; what drives 'it' into its 'Realization'; and the 'most important aspect' is a 'complete understanding' of the 'constitutive part' played by all the 'Real People' at the 'Bottom of the Entity'. Of course, a Political Entity is just a Political Entity. Its a Man-Made construction. Its not a part of 'Nature'. No matter how necessary 'getting together' might be, its a 'Political construction' and its created by Humans. It begins 'small', like 'Friends', 'Groups', 'Families', 'Tribes', 'Indian Nations', 'States', 'Nations' or 'Countries', and finally, maybe, even, into a 'United Nations'. What began as 'were all in the Same Boat', evolves into 'were all on the 'Same Planet'. That evolution is inevitable. 'Behind' the 'Condition of Togetherness' of such 'enlarging Entities', is always a 'Genuine Intention' coupled with a 'Genuine Sincerity' to 'hold together' as a 'Collective Identity'. That 'Intention' and that 'Sincerity' is what 'Drives' a 'Genuine Politician'. Political Correctness is a vacuous, empty, wish for the 'Political Power' inherent in 'Political Office' without the 'genuine selflessness' and 'Genuine Knowledge' required of a 'Genuine Politician. A Real Politician knows that the only 'Political Power' there is, is the 'Power' that is 'inherent' in the 'Real People' in their 'Condition of Togetherness' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Political entity'. That Power is 'transferred' by means of the 'Vote' to the 'Top' of the 'Political Entity', for the 'duration of Office'. No human Being can 'Govern' or 'Rule' another unless 'Institutionally' permitted and only for the 'duration of Office'. 'All Human beings' are 'Politically Free and Equal', and hence 'Governing' is the 'establishment and guidance' of the 'Real People' who live in 'Freedom and Equality'. There is 'no other Reason' for the existence of 'Democratic Government' and a Politician serving in Office' in such a Government, should serve the People 'Intentionally and Sincerely' and not just 'Politically Correct'. Where are the Real Politicians?

No One can 'drive' a 'Democratic Political Entity' with only a 'Capitalistic Motor'.

No One can 'drive' a 'Democratic Political Entity' with only a 'Capitalistic Motor'. The'Two Activities' are entirely 'different' from each other and each requires 'energizing' by 'its own' Separate Motor. Of course, the Economy is energized by the 'Capitalistic Motor' and the Democratic Political Entity is energized by 'Freedom and Equality' of 'Each and Every' 'Real Individual' at the Bottom of the Political Entity. Governing Democratically does not require 'Profits', but a successful Capitalistic endeavor does. In a Democracy both are essential but they cannot be 'inextricably mixed' or 'misused'. So, why do these Two Basic Impulses' or 'drives' get so entangled? One 'Reason' is that the 'Economy', in general, is very 'Lopsided' and 'Unbalanced'. For example, the Economy established 'Business Corporate entities' or, 'Legal Fictions', that function as 'Persons', and 'who' get 'Legal Protection' from the 'Courts' and the 'Constitution'. No 'Real Human Being' can compete with a 'Legal fiction'. Its too 'Big to Fail'. The 'Economic Grasp' of the Corporation is 'huge' and if an 'Important Corporation' is failing, it merely gets help from the Government. Not to mention, that if a 'Corporate Person' is not making enough 'Profits', it can be 'dissolved' and another is 'created' and is given a 'Different Name' and basically 'continues its existence'; a kind of 'Immortality'. But how can it continue its existence? simple, it has the 'Same Owners', or Family Members as did the defunct one. No 'Real Human Being' can compete with that; nor with the 'cumulative Results' of such a 'Continuation'. A successful 'Business Corporation' can exist for over 300 yrs. A 'Business Corporation' has an 'Incomparable Economic Grasp' and, too boot, 'Economic Immortality'. The Political problems arise when Billionaires, Millionaires, the Rich get into Political Office and try to 'drive' a 'Political Entity' with 'Business Principles' or a 'Business Motor', instead of a 'Political Motor' involving Democratic Principles. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politicians are necessary because they can 'Influence' the Components and Structure of the Social.

Politicians are necessary because they can 'Influence' the 'Components' and the 'Institutional Structure' of the 'Social'. Most other Professionals are concerned with 'smaller Components' of the Social, e.g. Medical, Legal, Business, Familial and other 'Institutional aspects' of the Social. Notice that I call them 'Professional'. And so they should be, because they 'can help pass laws' controlling the use of Firearms, medicines, Familial Relations, and 'many other aspects' of the Social. 'Politics' is an important 'function' of the 'Political Entity' and its 'Political Appendages'. Hence, in a Democracy, politicians should be well-versed in the Institutional make-up of the Social and the 'things necessary' to keep 'Democracy viable'. In other words, Politicians should be knowledgeable in the differences in 'Autocratic' and 'Democratic' Political Entities. Business Corporations function very much like Autocracies Function. Of course, there are differences, but, nevertheless, a Business Corporation has one purpose for existing, as does an Autocracy. The Business Corporation exists to make a 'profit' and an Autocracy exists to 'Rule' the Political Entity. Neither functions Otherwise. Hence, it is important for Politicians to be knowledgeable in both arenas. In a Democracy, we don't need Individuals in 'Political Positions' who are merely concerned with 'Making a Profit', 'Self-Inflation', or 'Self-Aggrandizement'. We need knowledgeable Politicians who can appreciate the difference and who can 'make a difference' in a Democracy. Of course, that's the the 'danger' of having a so-called 'Politician' who is 'more Businessman' and 'less Politician'. When the Top of Power is operated as a Business, that is 'not a Democratic Government', its a 'Powerful Machine' being used for 'advantage', 'Self Perpetuation' and 'Self-Aggrandizement'. 'Democracy' can never be 'viable' in a 'Governmental Entity' operated with 'Business Principles'. In such cases, 'Democratic Principles' die and 'Autocratic Principles' Rule. Where are the Real Politicians?

Is it too demanding for a Politician to be 'Altruistic'? Why do we have Politicians?

Is it demanding to much for Politicians to be Altruistic? What other 'motive' should a 'Public Official' have and why do we have Politicians? Politics is the most difficult discipline in the World because it requires a 'certain kind' of 'selflessness' and great efforts in the establishment of 'Social' and 'Political' Entities that benefits the 'Whole Bottom' viz. the real Individuals at the Bottom. That's the source of all 'Power' in a 'Democracy'. At the same time this discipline should benefit the 'Strength and Power' of the Political Entity as 'Political Entity' in the World. Of course, Political Offices 'earn' a pretty high Salary; they are not serving 'gratuitously'. Of course they won't get Rich from their Salary. But, if 'Service' in a Democracy, is not the Goal of a Politician, why not do something else? After all, Politics 'is a Service'. Certainly, one way to 'World Recognition' and 'Respect' is through Political Office. But, not all human 'motivations' are 'honest' and 'above board'. Here, of course, we could discuss different Political Systems and how they 'function'. Autocracies are expected to function as Autocracies. But, our concern is 'Democracy' in a Democracy. One very important 'factor' is not so much the 'Autocratic Attitude', in a Real political sense, but an honest 'Business Attitude', i.e., a motivation arising from having being a 'successful Businessman'. As we have already pointed out, the 'Business Engine' in 'Capitalism' is very 'different' from the 'Political Engine' in a Democracy. The Business Engine is energized by 'More and More of the same', or Money, or, if you like, Greed. But, the Political Engine in a Democracy is energized by the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each and every' 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Political Entity'. I say, 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom', because I cannot include 'Corporations' that are 'Legal Fictions', 'not' 'Real Persons', and that received their 'protection' from the Supreme Court. Here, then is a Social Problem. A 'Real genuine attitude', arising 'from success' in 'Capitalistic Activity', imperceptibly, 'slipping into' Democratic Government as an 'Aspect of Freedom and Equality' of Real Individuals... a complete infusion of 'More and more of the same', or Greed, into the 'Social Fabric' of 'Freedom and Equality' of 'Real Human Beings'. A 'Genuine Political Motivation' of 'Freedom and Equality', 'overcome', 'inextricably', by 'Business Motivation', 'Greed', that leads us into a 'Social' that 'Divides' and 'Defines' us as 'Haves' and 'Have-nots'. The 'Sad' part is that the arising of the 'Haves' stems from the 'protection' of the 'Corporation' as a 'Legal Fiction' created by the 'Supreme Court. 'Surrealism' has truly taken over. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politics is, or should be, an 'Altruistic Discipline'; Corporate Business is 'Dictatorial' in 'Nature'.

Politics is, or, 'should be' an 'Altruistic Discipline'; Corporate Business is 'Dictatorial' in 'Nature'. Of course, not all Politicians are Altruistic; and that's only one of its problems. The same applies to the Corporate World. There are many different kinds of Corporate Structures. Some serve an altruistic endeavor, such as 'Charitable Corporations'. But, a 'Business Corporation' is 'Incorporated' for the purpose of operating a 'Profitable Business' and to make 'lots of Money'. The 'Corporate Nature' gives it an 'Incomparable' Economic 'Size and Grasp'. The Huge 'Corporate World' is a 'Business World'. It's 'Motored' by 'More and More' of the 'Same'. 'Money and Profits'. It 'also has no other Reason' for existing. The reason it doesn't have 'any Other Reason' for existing is because it was 'not Given' any 'Social Duties'. It was only given a 'Huge Size', and a 'Motor' to generate 'More and More ' of the 'Same', to wit; 'Huge Profits'. Hence, it can also be said that a 'Big Business Corporation' is motored by 'Greed'. No Profits, no Corporation. Its difficult to determine why a 'Successful Businessman' would want to become a Successful Politician. The 'basic impulse' of the Business World is to make a Profit. While the Basic impulse of a Political Entity is to Govern all the 'Real People' at the 'Bottom'. In a 'Political Entity', constituted as a 'Democracy', the 'Individuals' at the 'Top with Power', are only 'Representatives' of the 'Bottom', the 'Real Source of Power' and they serve only for a 'While'. A 'Dictator' or 'Autocrat' serves for as long as He or She can 'Survive' and 'until' He or She, is 'Toppled'. The 'Problem' that arises in a 'Democracy' motored by a 'Business-Person' is His or Her 'reliance' on 'Business Principles', which can only strive for 'More and More' of the 'same'. Where is the Altruism? There is no Altruism, only the 'Greedy Pursuit' of 'Money' and its 'Redistribution'. The Rich get Richer and the poor get Poorer. Where are the Real Politicians?

The Problem with Business principles is that they have little to do with Governing Principles.

The Problems with 'Business Principles' is that they have little to do with 'Democratic Governing Principles'. Most Business Principles are motivated with 'Monetary Schemes' that deal with 'correcting something' in order to make 'more Money'. Lately, there have been References to New Retirement Plans. Sure, Individuals will now have more Retirement Plans available, but these Individuals are 'already employed' and even then they will have to 'have been employed' for a few years to be Eligible. How is that helping the 'unemployed'? There's even talk about these new changes 'effecting' Individuals who have already 'earned' their Social Security. How about the Unemployed. How about correcting Economic Injustices for the Poor? How is Governing being improved by ignoring the Individuals that really need Economic help? The Poor will remain Poor and the needy will remain needy and the uninsured will remain uninsured. So, why isn't Government attempting to 'Govern' the Many at the Bottom by creating opportunities for the Unemployed, the Uninsured, the Homeless, the 'Young Individuals' that will have to live in a 'Social' motored by 'Economic Plutocratic Principles', instead of the 'Democratic' principles of 'Freedom and Equality'. There is no 'Personal Freedom' in a 'Social' constituted with 'Business Corporations' that are always the 'Employers' who 'use' the 'Real Individuals' as 'Employees'. The 'Social' is composed of Debtors and Creditors. A recent Book by Maurizio Lazzarato, 'The Making of the Indebted Man' claims that Society 'intensifies mechanisms of exploitation and Domination'. Certainly, Business has its proper place in the Social. But, the Bottom line is that Business Principles cannot Govern . They can and do 'exploit the Social' at the Expense of Real Individual 'Freedom and Equality'. Business Corporations need more Democratic Duties. They are protected as 'Legal Fictions' but they have no 'Democratic Duties'. As Legal Fictions they can also be required to have 'Democratic Duties' like you and I. A Corporation should be thankful for its 'Democratic Arising' and should 'exist' more 'Democratically'. 'Greed' should not be its sole 'Economic Function'. After all, they are Protected as 'Persons' by the Constitution...... Where are the Real Politicians?

A 'Political Social' is composed of 'Real Individuals' and 'Legal Fictions'.

A 'Political Social' is composed of 'Real Individuals' and 'Legal Fictions'. The 'Real Individuals' are expected to participate in the 'Democratic Process' of 'Politics'; be 'Law abiding'; and 'Good Citizens' while living in a Democratic Society. In other words they are Free and Equal but they also have duties as Citizens. Any violation of Civil Law or Criminal Law by 'Real Individuals' or 'Real Persons' is expeditiously punished in accordance with Law. The 'Business Corporation' is a 'Legal Fiction', i.e. 'not Real', but considered a 'Person' withing the 'meaning of the Constitution' and hence entitled to 'legal Protection' as if a 'Real Person'. Hence, the Corporate Structure is 'protected' by the Constitution, 'as if it was Real', but is not given any 'Social Duties' as a 'Fictional Person'. In other words, its considered as a Person to be Protected but it is not considered as a 'Person with Social Duties' that allows it to live in the Democracy that has 'created it'. The effect of this 'lop sided grant' of 'Protections' is not balanced with 'Duties for Living' and 'existing' in the Democratic Social that gave it its 'Person-Hood'. Real Individuals have duties in a Democracy, they have to be Good Citizens, good 'Workers', employees, Tax payers, etc., but 'Corporate Persons' or 'Fictions' have 'Protections', as Real Individuals do, but 'no 'Duties', or 'obligations' as Citizens, for the privilege of existing as 'Real Persons' in a 'Democracy'. Some make Billions in Profits but, pay no taxes. They are 'Huge Incorporated Legal Fictions' with no 'Social Obligations'. They 'function' as 'Profit Making Machines' that establishes a Social that emphasizes 'Profits', and helps create 'Social Classes'. If Corporations are going to function in the Social as 'Profits Machines', they also need 'Social Duties'. To create a 'Legal Fiction' that only makes 'Profits', unbalances the Economy and creates a Social 'controlled by Business Principles' and 'not Political Principles'. We need Political Principles to Drive a Political Entity. 'Business' and 'Profits' cannot drive a 'Political Entity'. Where are the Real Politicians?

When Business Principles 'Overcome' a Democracy, 'Greed' and 'Ego' becomes the 'Motor' of that Democracy.

When 'Business Principles' 'overcome' a 'Democracy', 'Greed' and 'Ego' becomes the 'Motor' of that Democracy. The result is a Democracy 'motored' by 'Business Principles' and 'Personality'. That is not a 'Government of Freedom and Equality'. The purpose of Democratic Government is a Government 'of the People', 'by the People' and, most important, 'For the people'. Its really very simple. One Principle is the basis of the Business mentality whose goal is survival by 'Profits and Size', and the Other is the Power of 'Governing' for the purpose of establishing 'Social Institutions' of 'Freedom and Equality' for the 'Bottom' of a 'Democratic Political Entity'. That happens to be the 'Real Source' of 'Political Power'. If a Political Entity has power at the Top, one must always ask from where does it get Power? 'In a Democracy', there is no 'other way' to transfer Power to a 'Political top'. All 'Political Tops' with Power must get that Power from 'somewhere'. That's the inception of all Political Systems. Some inherited Power from 'who knows where', others got power by 'force', and some 'still depend' on the 'Left-over Aura' of the 'Divine Right of Kings'. But, our concern is with 'Democratic Governing'. If a Political Entity claims to be a Democracy, then it has to be a 'Representative Democracy' that gets its 'Political Power' from the People at the Bottom. But, that is a Political principle, not a Business Principle. When the 'Business Mentality' creeps into Democracy, Freedom and Equality flies out the Window. 'So-called Democracies' transform into 'Plutocracies', 'Oligarchies', or just plain 'Autocracies' or 'Dictatorships'. 'Government and Governing' is 'Over' and 'Rule begins'. When Rule begins its 'more and more of the same' and 'make America great Again'. Where are the Real Politicians?

'Governing' with 'Business Principles' can destroy 'Democracy'.

Governing with 'Business Principles' can destroy Democracy. Why? Because 'Business' is motored by the 'energy of Profits' and 'democracy' is motored by the 'Energy' of 'Freedom and Equality'. No Corporate 'Business' continues to exist if its not making 'Profits'. 'More and More' of the 'Same', or Money, leads to Autocracy, Plutocracy or Oligarchy and that is Government 'of the Few', 'by the Few', and 'For the Few'. Democratic Governing is the establishment of Social Institutions and Laws that permits the 'People at the Bottom' to live and express their 'Freedom and Equality'. But, there's always a few People at the Bottom who establish 'Huge Corporations' to conduct Economic Businesses with them. This creates an 'Economic Imbalance' in the 'Social' and at the 'Bottom' because a 'Real Human Person' cannot compete with a Huge 'Economic Corporate Entity' defined by the Supreme Court as also 'a Person' ( known as a Legal Fiction and that only exists in contemplation of Law) that is, in fact, 'not' a 'Real Human Person'. The 'Social' becomes 'Peopled' by 'Real People', like You and I, and by 'Legal Fictions' protected by the Constitution, and that only exist 'in contemplation of Law'. It wont take long for the Real Human Beings to realize that in a 'Corporate Society', the Real Individual is the 'Employee' and the 'Corporation' is the 'Employer'. Today, Now, 'Legal Fictions' set the 'momentum' for Economic Activity which creates a 'Social Cleavage' and 'sets standards' between 'Employers and Employees', 'Haves' and 'Have-nots, 'Owners and Workers' in the Social. This Social Phenomena creates 'impressions' of 'Divisions' in the 'Real Human Condition' that are not real, and huge 'accumulations' of 'value and money' that creates impressions of being 'motored' by 'Greed'. When 'Fictional Economic Entities', sets standards of 'economic duality', of success/failure, of haves and have-nots; they are also setting standards that create 'divisions' in the 'Human Condition', the 'Equality' of the 'Human Condition', and the Freedom in the Human condition. When a 'Corporate Society' overlays a 'Democratic Social' the 'Real Individuals' in the Social can 'lose' their 'Freedom and Equality'. Business is a necessary Part of every Society, it can produce 'Lots', but it 'cannot Drive' a Democracy. Freedom and Equality 'cannot' be attenuated or 'Divided'. You either have it or you don't. Where are the Real politicians?

Government must return to a 'Real activity' of Governing.

Government must return to the 'Real Activity' of 'Governing'. The only purpose for the existence of a 'Governing Entity' is for the purpose of Governing the 'Many' or 'the People' that 'Constitute it' as an 'Organized Political Entity'. After all, its the 'Bottom' that 'transfers its Power' as 'Free and Equal Real Individuals', by means of the Vote, to the Top. A Top cannot just 'arbitrarily assign to itself' the 'Political power' to Rule, 'the Many Real Individuals', at the Bottom. But, once the Top acquires its 'Political Form' or 'Identity', it does all it can to retain that 'Identity'. Of course, that gives rise to all the different Forms of Government that exist. But the basic Form of all Governments is 'Power at the Top' and 'People at the Bottom'. 'Without some Form of Government, a 'Bottom' becomes 'disorganized' and slips into a 'Condition of Chaos'. The more Chaotic the Bottom becomes; the more it needs Government, any Form of Government. But, Government should not Exist to make 'Profits', because it is not a 'Business', 'nor' to 'arbitrarily' exercise 'Power' over the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom. By the same token, 'already established Democracies' should not be 'Governed' with 'business Principles'. A 'Business Mentality' cannot Govern a Democracy. We need Real Politicians at the Helm. A democratic Government can only 'Govern'. It has no other purpose for existing. Autocracies, Plutocracies, Oligarchies, and Kingdoms 'Rule'; they 'do not' Govern. But, because of their 'essential Political Form', they do not emphasize 'Freedom and Equality' of the Real Individual at the Bottom. 'Rulers' are 'already Rich' at the Top and they will not hesitate to 'increase their Riches' as Business Corporations must also do, in order to survive. Autocracies; Plutocracies; and Oligarchies, will always protect their Political 'Status-Quo'. Consequently, the 'first step' in a 'return' to 'Real Governing' with 'Political principles' and 'not Business Principles' is to replace the existing 'Business Mentality' with a 'Real Political Mentality'. But, for that, we need a 'Real Politician'. Where are the Real Politicians?
