Joe Biden just gave his umpteenth speech about democracy. Biden’s definition of democracy, like the European definition of it, is rooted in the century old idea of a struggle between democracy and non-democratic regimes that defined WWI and WWII. The problem with this formula is that it defines democracy as being against, for example, fascism, rather than by actually functioning as a free society with fair and open elections.
In the latter half of the 20th century, leftist parties increasingly weaponized the concept of ‘democracy’ to suppress domestic political opponents. In Europe, Canada, Australia Israel and now America, democracy came to be equivalent to leftist politics and meant adopting leftist views and suppressing conservative ones.
In a New Yorker interview with Peter Daou, a former Clinton aide running Cornel West’s third party presidential campaign, he asks what is the point of democracy if all it is defined by is its opposition to the other side in order to maintain a one or two-party system.
Let’s say this cycle we also say the same thing, which is, Oh, my God, we have to stop Donald Trump or we have to stop whoever the Republican might be. And this happens the next cycle and the next cycle and the next cycle. Where is the so-called democracy that we’re supposedly protecting or saving? What we’re doing is we’re crushing third parties. We are stifling democracy itself, Isaac. This is the problem.
Democrats have been waging a campaign against democracy by attacking any third party bid, from No Labels to West, warning that anyone running against Biden is a threat to democracy. Biden (or the default Dem candidate) has come to embody democracy and anyone opposing him is undermining democracy.
What do you call democracy when you strip away elections? Who was notorious for these constant assertions of democracy while maintaining totalitarian systems? Communists.
All this “protecting democracy” from elections stuff is ultimately just Communism.
I can only refer the curious to Orwell’s essays. Anyone, everyone, interested in the forces shaping their lives, and the future of our species, should be intimidately familiar with them.
[In my best John McLane voice] “Welcome to the party, pal!”
America is getting her first taste of communism after the January 20th, 2021 inauguration of a fake president…and from all outward appearances, it would seem that we’re not fans at all. Not even kinda.
I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but, since NOTHING has been done since then to insure election integrity, and 50% of Republicans in Congress are worthless, I’d strap in for the long haul and buy a high capacity, clip-fed shotgun for close order combat, because it’ll probably get ugly from here.
The Ancient Greeks, or at least Aristotle’s Political Theory, already had it figured out, if I remember correctly. Democracy just makes it easy for tyrants to rouse the masses and seize power for themselves. Hence our founding fathers insisted on a Representative form of government. A Republic, if we can keep it 🙂
The Cloward-Piven strategy is to fundamentally change a system that works, and dramatically weaken the system, (Breaking the System). using numerous bailouts, stimulus packages, and massive government spending. Unfortunately people who don’t understand, and keep voting for those who promote these kind of policies are also part of the problem, along with election fraud. Yes, Lack of knowledge is a big deal.
Democ-rat voters define democracy as getting “free” stuff from Democ-rat politicians. Democ-rats are to their deadbeat voters what a revolver is to an armed robber. At a recent community meeting to discuss a rash of car thefts, my dyed-in-the-wool Democ-rat neighbors made a classic Democ-rat demand of local government: Provide citizens with anti-theft steering wheel bars to thwart the car thieves. Now, such anti-theft devices are readily available at any auto supply store. Why won’t my neighbors just go and buy the inexpensive device for themselves? Because they vote for Democ-rats.
The left has pointed it’s accusing fingers at yet another foe of democracy, Elon Musk. Recently I saw a report on the “crimes” committed by Mr. Musk through his SpaceX and Tesla companies, brought to you by your friendly neighborhood DNC.
It seems the Dems have adopted the policy learned from those Soros prosecutor’s attacks on Trump, a very effective way to ease those nagging thorns in their sides, prosecute anyone who disagrees.
Oh! BTW, real crimes aren’t necessary, just the accusation is enough, the Obama judges will do the rest.
Dangerous world we live in.
As the old joke goes, “Democracy is two wolves and a chicken discussing what’s for dinner.” Or to put it in more articulate terms it’s the “tyranny of the majority” that our founders were well aware of, and took steps to prevent when writing the Constitution.
One such step, the second Amendment.
Communism killed 20 million in the Soviet Gulag.
Mao’s China killed probably close to 100 million(even without the “One Child” policy).
MILLIONS of Americans will die above and beyond normal mortality rates in the next ten years.
Ignoring ELECTION FRAUD and the Second Amendment will be judged by history to be the reason for the disaster.
Election fraud, election fraud, election fraud. There- I added the necessary words to this article. I did it.
That includes Russia Russia and other hoaxes perpetuated through the media – recall that every station & outlet for 2 years or more shouted “Russia Russia” and 50 million taxpayer bucks was spent on the useless Mueller report when all people involved (and their hairdressers and maids in DC, NY & LA) knew it was a fake. It includes the so-called Zuckerbucks, and the quasi legal and illegal changes in election processes. It includes wrap up smears, lies, lawfare and of course the current indictments of Trump. But the fraud was also crude methods such as boxes of ballots from under tables, fake floods, angry hateful election workers willing to just cheat, and trucks crossing state lines filled with ballots, The Bioweapon created mail in and drop boxes used to cheat (some is on video).
I am so sorry to regurgitate this all here. But it is relevant. To 2024.
