Democracy at the bottom must include every individual situated at the base
of a triadic form of government. The immediate response to the above statement
is, " how can anyone believe that everyone must be included in a democratic
form of government; that's absurd". At this stage of history, everyone is born
within an established Country with an established government. Whether
democratic or not, that Country has abstract power and that individual is real,
sacred, and has a life. The reason the Top has abstract power is because it
purports to rule or govern the people within its geographic boundaries. The
person or persons at the Top are not stronger, healthier, more astute, or more
intelligent. Nor do they have more life than those at the bottom. They have
abstract power under an assumption of some sort, fear, or some grant of power.
A government has abstract power because that's the only way to claim in
empty, vacuous words to include everyone subject to that rule or power.
But, the truth of the matter is that government, regardless of its form or how
it got power, does not always include the real people at the bottom. But, the
bottom is actually stronger than the top. The reason is, numbers. The bottom is
number. Each number must be included in an equation. In a democracy,
everyone at the bottom is real, s/he is number. Government better have a dam
good reason to leave someone out of a democratic equation.
