You wrote,"... democracy is the rule of the (entire) population..." I
took that to mean that the entire population would make rules: who can
claim land, who own copyrights, how inventions can be patented, how
taxes will be collected, how accused criminals will be tried, how fraud
is prosecuted,... But it's obviously unworkable to say the entire
population must agree completely on each rule. So that's why I said it
is not a system at all. It's a fantasy.
A very idealistic evolutionary dream, of which Lenin concluded that to
implement (he spoke about 'communism' in a similar sense) that kind of
society a NEW TYPE HUMAN has to evolve (he called it "communist man").
Such evolvement *cannot be orchestrated* by (majority?) rules and not
by a government of old-fashioned (capitalistic? self-centered and
growth-related - I mean gowth of their private wealth - upper class,
involved*in* any ongoing politics) *existing societies*.
But to dream about it is free.
Yeah and it's free to dream about my date with Scarlett Johansson...but
it's a waste of time.
