The word democracy has no meaning. Duty has gone. Only rights remain.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Democracy no longer means what it was meant to. It has been taken back into the workshop. Each of its institutions has been hollowed out, and it has been returned to us as a vehicle for the free market, of the corporations. For the corporations, by the corporations.
So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy.
We should never take democracy for granted. Democracy can emerge and develop, but it can also decay.
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.
Democracy literally means the power of people. Democracy is not about politics, it is about the people.
Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
Democracy involves that old-fashioned thing called working it out.
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.
Democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's slave.
When we say 'democracy' we have to mean what we say.
