Democracy, the word of the new world, everyone today, or most of the people, supports or lives under a democracy, lives with votes, choosing representatives, electing presidents, mayors, governors, and so, most of the people cannot seen it´s life without this system, but, is it really good for us? is it really good for the world? what of good the democracy have introduced in our western society? so let´s talk a little about it.
At first, i am talking not about the old greek democracy or some forms of medieval democracy, i am talking about the modern liberal universal sufragge democracy.
This democracy have a principles problem, as a Catholic and a Monarchist, i can't abide a system that it based upon the concept of the "power comes from the people" because the Church and the old "Divine right" doctrine defends that the power comes from God, so the idea of a goverment formed by the powers of the people is a senseless nonsense, because no power come from the people.
Then we take the idea of voting, everyone casting it´s votes in a ballot, choosing each or another politician to be it´s leader, okay, it is a legimate form of choosing, but, in the liberal mindset, it is in this way because, as the power comes from the people, the people must choose it´s governors, and so, all must vote, in Brazil, where i live and been born, the vote is even mandatory, making it clear that 'all must vote' doctrine of the liberalism.
