Democracy comes from France, the “bourgeoisie” revolution established government by the people. The American Revolution followed, adopting many of it’s objectives. Democracy has since been hijacked by capitalism, the power of the dollar. The US is partially democratic, in Australia voting is compulsory.

By definition, eveyone should participate in democracy. Communism had the right idea, financial equality, but it too has been taken by power. Let’s build a new political system, whose focus is the well being of humanity, not profit. Let’s evolve in this the information age, moving past the industrial age. Value life rather than money.
