There will always be "someone's tyranny", everyone wants to be the tyrant himself and call such as "freedom" (to himself that is). Democracy has the advantage that no one in particular is the tyrant, thus also not give that "one-side-only freedom".
As we're a social animal, I'm ok with Democracy...

Democracy is the road to socialism. Can you guess who said that? It was Karl Marx.

My ex-wife thought socialism just meant people being social, it seems you have the same mistaken idea. Can't say I blame you for being misinformed, nearly every politician, teacher, journalist and citizen believes that our Founders created a democracy, it is absolutely not true. The Founders knew full well the differences between a Republic and a Democracy and they repeatedly and emphatically said that they had founded a Republic--not a democracy.

A Republic is representative government ruled by law (the Constitution). A democracy is direct government ruled by the majority (mob rule). A Republic recognizes the inalienable rights of individuals while democracies are only concerned with group wants or needs (the so-called "public good"). As the worlds most popular Congressman (Ron Paul) has said, Our countrys founders cherished liberty, not democracy. And we should too, if we really knew what was good for us.

At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about The Fall of The Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:

Quote

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

We have just made the transition from complacency to national apathy ~ which will surely be followed by dependence on the state and eventually bondage by the state. Deny a people the freedom of the Bill of Rights, and security becomes slavery. We are seeing this now with the TSA agents at airports, greyhound stations, malls, and sporting events.

Article IV Section 4, of the Constitution guarantees to every state in this union a Republican form of government. Conversely, the word Democracy is not mentioned even once in the Constitution. Jefferson said, A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. Madison warned us of the dangers of democracies with these words, Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths

So here we are today in a state of apathy as Obama gives more power to the Federal Reserve, our path toward socialism is almost complete. If youre doubt it, read Karl Marxs Communist Manifesto. Published in 1848, he lists the ten essential steps to communism. Step five was: Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

Look at America today, it is not an exaggeration to say that while we want government of the people, by the people and for the people were getting government of the banks, by the banks and for the banks. As Dennis Kucinich said:

Quote

We ought to be really concerned about a bank takeover of the country because we borrowed money from the banks to give to the banks, the banks give us toxic assets or hoard the money, or they use it to buy other banks. I dont think the Founders envisioned government of the banks, for the banks and by the banks

.

While our Founders may not have envisioned this for America, Karl Marx did. What most people dont know is Karl Marx was being financed by International bankers, and the Bolsheviks enjoyed the support from the same coalition of super-capitalists. The big question has always been why? And answer is simple: they shared the same vision for Americas future. A future which we are faced with today: Karl Marxs America. (where the bankers rule)

The International bankers wanted to create a New World Order in which they would control the wealth of the world. The question for them was how to bring about this global socialismthat answer is found in the Hegelian dialectic (the system upon which Marx based all his writings). The Hegelian dialectic formula is as follows: A (thesis) versus B (anti-thesis) equals C (synthesis). First, the bankers knew they had to turn our Republic into a democracy, and knew this was the formula to follow: Capitalism vs Communism would result in the synthesis: socialism. And under their careful planning this synthesis would grant them total control of the world. All they needed to do is follow the formula.

Today people are saying Marx was right! Capitalism has failed but what they dont know is the same International Bankers who supported Marx now stand to gain what they have always wanted: total and complete control of the entire worlds money system. How did we get to this place you ask? Simple: we the people let our guard down as our Republic was turned into a democracy. As a result we can expect global dictatorship to follow as surely as night follows the day. Unless we as individuals, and then as a nation, conquer fear and apathy we are doomed to dependence and then bondage by a state ruled by the wealthy oligarchs and their henchmen.

Welcome to Karl Marxs America.

Quote

When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain. Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815

Quote

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale. Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. Thomas Jefferson

Quote

Capitalism should not be condemned, since we havent had capitalismOur countrys founders cherished liberty, not democracy. Ron Paul
