      I suspect that %90 of them still want a democracy over anything else. %10 might seem high but there are a bunch of people who think theocracy would be better 🙄

    What fascinates and surprises me when listening to you is simply your channel's very strange and biased definition of democracy. Perhaps you should take a lesson in Greek and review the etymology of the term, which means: power given to the people, not power given to the owning or dominant classes. If people reject liberalism in Europe and elsewhere, it is simply because it is not democratic, it does not keep its promises. It is not out of love for authoritarianism but out of rejection of uncontrolled immigration, growing insecurity, and blatant fiscal injustice.

    • @Rnankn
      @Rnankn 7 дней назад

      But supporting the far right is the entrenchment of oligarchy and the property owning class. The agenda of controlling cross border flows of people and immigrants is empty because it ignores cross border flows of capital and investment. As long as money, not people represents power, authority amplifies insecurity with the use of force to maintain inequalities and injustices. It is the opposite of democratizing land and wealth by distributing them equally amongst the people.

Trump blatantly lied about election fraud for 3.5 years, yet he can say virtually anything he wants outside of a court of law without consequences. And he can pay his minions in Congress and the media to perpetuate his lies again. Do you really think these far-right nut jobs are going to tolerate another “stolen election”?

    The greatest sign that democracy is working and is not the problem….is the fact that millions that live under them can think, say, and vote as if it actually is. The alternative of course is any system that doesn’t allow one to think freely, speak freely, or vote based upon any real choice of options. Authoritarians can always use propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation to distract from their shortcomings. They always think they’re winning, until they’re not. Think of the mentality in Italy in early 1942 or Germany in late 1943. It was all very different for them about a year later wasn’t it.

    Two things to note about millennials dissatisfaction with democracy: one internal pressure, one external pressure. The external is actually easy to see. Most Millennials were born at the tail end of the Cold War and have largely become adults in a world that has not experienced the absence or retreat of democracy by significant nation-states. That was exactly the world the greatest generation, those who fought WWII, were born into. The other is internal. Several studies out of the U.S. have pointed out that millennials have started adulthood in a worse economic conditions relative to cost of living vs Wages/taxes/inflation than the baby boomers (children of the Greatest Generation born in the post-war boom) and that boomers have held on to generational wealth and power for too long. As a result, Gen X never fully stepped up, can’t economically provide assistance, and thus millennials, who are more engaged politically, more educated, and more diverse, are really as Drake says “starting from the bottom”. Greater inequality equals greater dissatisfaction with democracy.

    The reason the youth don't support democracy is the proof that democracy works. Democracy has been so successful that generations of people haven't had to face the alternative, thus forming their own apathetic opinions of political systems.

      Young people love our Constitutional Republic and the freedoms provided by our Constitutional Republic. They hate supporting the rest of the world while they work everyday and still can't afford any part of the American Dream. No house, no land, no independent living, and no hope for a better, happier and brighter lifestyle because of a horrid economy and mass inflation. And that's the truth...

    The distinction between our Republic and a democracy is not an idle one. It has great legal significance.
    The Constitution guarantees to every state a Republican form of government (Art. 4, Sec. 4). No state may join the United States unless it is a Republic. Our Republic is one dedicated to "liberty and justice for all." Minority individual rights are the priority. The people have natural rights instead of civil rights. The people are protected by the Bill of Rights from the majority. One vote in a jury can stop all of the majority from depriving any one of the people of his rights; this would not be so if the United States were a democracy. (see People's rights vs Citizens' rights)
    In a pure democracy 51 beats 49[%]. In a democracy there is no such thing as a significant minority: there are no minority rights except civil rights (privileges) granted by a condescending majority. Only five of the U.S. Constitution's first ten amendments apply to Citizens of the United States. Simply stated, a democracy is a dictatorship of the majority. Socrates was executed by a democracy: though he harmed no one, the majority found him intolerable.
    SOME DICTIONARY DEFINITIONS
    Government. ....the government is but an agency of the state, distinguished as it must be in accurate thought from its scheme and machinery of government. ....In a colloquial sense, the United States or its representatives, considered as the prosecutor in a criminal action; as in the phrase, "the government objects to the witness." [Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, p. 625]
    Government; Republican government. One in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the people and are exercised by the people, either directly, or through representatives chosen by the people, to whome those powers are specially delegated. In re Duncan, 139 U.S. 449, 11 S.Ct. 573, 35 L.Ed. 219; Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. (21 Wall.) 162, 22 L.Ed. 627. [Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, p. 626]
    Democracy. That form of government in which the sovereign power resides in and is exercised by the whole body of free citizens directly or indirectly through a system of representation, as distinguished from a monarchy, aristocracy, or oligarchy. Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, pp. 388-389.

    EXAMPLE
    Democratic Form of Government: An environmental organization proposes a bill for the ballot that every individual should reduce his water household usage by 25%. To assure that this goal is met, the government, or private sector, will monitor every individual's household water consumption rate. If an individual does not meet the goal, his first offense is $500 fine. Second offense is $750 fine and 30 days community service. Third offense is $1,500 fine and 30 days imprisonment. Fourth offense is $1,750 fine and 90 days imprisonment. Fifth offense is a felony (1-year imprisonment) and $2,000 fine.
    The people argue this environmental issue back and forth. They argue the pros and cons of the issue. This great debate is held at town hall meetings. Strong opinions are on both sides of the matter. One side preaches, "It is for the common good!" The other side rebuttals, "This is control and not freedom, and lost of choice!" Election day occurs. The people go to the ballot box to settle the problem. The majority won by a vote of 51% whereas the minority lost with a vote of 49%. The minority is ignored. The majority celebrates while the minority jeers in disappointment. Since the majority won, the bill goes in effect. As a result of the majority winning, every individual must reduce his household water usage by 25%. For the reason that the majority has mandatory powers in a democracy. Those who wish to go against the collective (whole body politic) will be punished accordingly. The minority has neither voice nor rights to refuse to accept the dictatorial majority. Everything is mandatory in a democracy. This brings dictatorship and lividity to the realm.

As a result of the majority winning, it is advisory that every individual reduce his household water usage by 25%. For the reason that the majority has advisory powers in a republic. Bearing in mind that each individual is equally sovereign in a republic, he is free to reject the majority. He may choose to follow the majority and subject himself to the rule, or he may choose not to follow the majority and not subject himself to the rule. The minority has a voice and rights to refuse to accept the majority. Everything is advisory in a republic. This brings liberty and peace to the realm.
    COMMENTS
    Notice that in a Democracy, the sovereignty is in the whole body of the free citizens. The sovereignty is not divided to smaller units such as individual citizens. To solve a problem, only the whole body politic is authorized to act. Also, being citizens, individuals have duties and obligations to the government. The government's only obligations to the citizens are those legislatively pre-defined for it by the whole body politic.
    In a Republic, the sovereignty resides in the people themselves, whether one or many. In a Republic, one may act on his own or through his representatives as he chooses to solve a problem. Further, the people have no obligation to the government; instead, the government being hired by the people, is obliged to its owner, the people.
    The people own the government agencies. The government agencies own the citizens. In the United States we have a three-tiered cast system consisting of people ---> government agencies ---> and citizens.
    The people did "ordain and establish this Constitution," not for themselves, but "for the United States of America." In delegating powers to the government agencies the people gave up none of their own. (See Preamble of U.S. Constitution). This adoption of this concept is why the U.S. has been called the "Great Experiment in self government." The People govern themselves, while their agents (government agencies) perform tasks listed in the Preamble for the benefit of the People. The experiment is to answer the question, "Can self-governing people coexist and prevail over government agencies that have no authority over the People?"
    The citizens of the United States are totally subject to the laws of the United States (See 14th Amendment of U.S. Constitution). NOTE: U.S. citizenship did not exist until July 28, 1868.
    Actually, the United States is a mixture of the two systems of government (Republican under Common Law, and democratic under statutory law). The People enjoy their God-given natural rights in the Republic. In a democracy, the Citizens enjoy only government granted privileges (also known as civil rights).
    There was a great political division between two major philosophers, Hobbes and Locke. Hobbes was on the side of government. He believed that sovereignty was vested in the state. Locke was on the side of the People. He believed that the fountain of sovereignty was the People of the state. Statists prefer Hobbes. Populists choose Locke. In California, the Government Code sides with Locke. Sections 11120 and 54950 both say, "The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them." The preambles of the U.S. and California Constitutions also affirm the choice of Locke by the People.
    It is my hope that the U.S. will always remain a Republic, because I value individual freedom.
    Thomas Jefferson said that liberty and ignorance cannot coexist.* Will you help to preserve minority rights by fulfilling the promise in the Pledge of Allegiance to support the Republic? Will you help by raising public awareness of the difference between the Republic and a democracy?
