A Democracy has Political Power at the Top, but the Bottom has Freedom and Equality.
A Democracy has Political Power at the Top, but the Bottom has Freedom and Equality. Of course, anyone at the Bottom can Run for Political Office. But, as I have pointed out, Democracy needs to establish qualifications for Candidates that Run for Public Office. Sure, anyone can Run, but we cannot disregard the Dangers. One of the dangers is that given the Freedom to Run, the Candidate can seek to install a Plutocracy, or an Autocracy. We already have a 'Bottom' or a 'Social' with 'classes' of 'Rich', 'Poor', 'Helpless', and also of 'Many different Races'. That could lead to the installation of a 'Plutocratic' and 'Racial discrimanatory practices'. All that is needed is a shift from a Democracy of the People to a Government of the Rich, or a Plutocracy. How? By adopting the value system of the 'Big Business Corporations'. Business Corporations are already considered 'Persons in contemplation of Law'; they are 'Legal Fictions' and they are 'Money Making' machines, or stated differently, 'Money Making Persons'. Hence a shift towards 'Economic values'or simply 'Money', can and will distract from 'Freedom and Equality' as a basic 'Unifying Value'. 'More and More of the Same', or 'Money' or 'Profits' will 'lead' to Plutocracy and that can easily transform into 'Autocracy'.
