Of two basic systems of government
the universal human response in assessing
the favoured of the two is always heavily
on the side of personal freedoms and respect
for lawful justice which leaves dictatorships
at the bottom of the garbage heap of politics
democracies soaring to the top unblemished
by the propensity of tyrants to manipulate
humanity to their unsavoury ends in a
power structure benefiting only the tyrant.
Wait: each may have something in common
after all. Whenever things go wrong as they
invariably do in any system of government
the dictators warn of foreign influences
appealing to the nationalist in even the
downtrodden. Seems now that democracies
are not themselves above the convenient
use of the very same ploy in eschewing
responsibility while gathering their voters
in a show of national support when their
leaders fail, then warn of the implications
of foreign interference. Do they wink at one
another while directing the choreography
of national outrage so useful as a cover for
ineptly outrageous betrayals of democracy
on the one hand and virulent displays of
human rights violations on the other...?
