The word "Democracy" has had a many faceted evolution. But, the important
factor is to try to get behind or underneath the term and get to a basic
fundamental perception of what it refers to. If we remain at the level of
language, many different concepts pop into the picture. The Top of government
always thinks abstractly and always applies words abstractly, i. e. in general terms.
Even specific terms are applied abstractly, i.e. they remain abstract even though
they apply to several people. Hence, the governments position, "it doesn't include
you." The term "democratic" is numeric. It applies to everyone at the Bottom of
government. Technically, the Top cannot be democratic because the Top is One
or Several rulers or governors. The form of government may be democratic,
but The Top is just the Top. All authority and power of governing emanates
from the Top, from its Constitution. Only the Bottom can be democratic which is
numeric and which means "everyone", but not in a linguistic, abstract manner.
"Everyone", numerically means everyone individually, like numbers. The
bottom is number; it is real, concrete. Everyone must be counted in the equation
"democracy is Number". Thats real democracy. Constitutional power may
emanate from the Top but, strength, real strength in a democracy arises from the
bottom. The bottom has great strength in numbers. Thats why the term
"revolution" must be an accepted phenomena in governing. Sometimes the
activity falls within the illegal concepts we have formulated, but held and
organized in a proper manner, it is the only way the bottom can legitimately
express itself.
  An "arising" from the Bottom includes "lots of people"; it is a revolution and
revolutions can, by nature, be democratic.
