Democracy — The system of scoundrels, demagogues and opportunists

Democracy, without a doubt, is the system that allows everything. If you are a politician, democracy will serve your purposes perfectly, no matter how nefarious, depraved, dark and authoritarian they are. Paradoxically, no matter how destructive, corrosive, perfidious and evil democracy may be — as well as its side effects — as a political system, it continues to enjoy enormous prestige, popularity and an excellent reputation. She also bestows an aura of grace, redemption, and kindness on all who uphold her.

Currently, an individual publicly claiming — whether in a circle of friends, professors or co-workers — that he is an arduous and inflexible defender of democracy is the best resource of personal self-promotion and social signaling of virtue that exists. Whoever does this is automatically seen as a correct, sensible, noble and just person, who deserves all possible praise for his good political conduct. In many political, social and intellectual circles, it is enough for you to say that you defend democracy arduously, to be honored as the best, the most courageous, the most prudent and the most benevolent of all human beings that ever existed.

It turns out that democracy is one of the most ambiguous, deficient, immoral and degrading systems of social and political organization ever assembled in human history. A blunt and profound analysis of democracy very clearly exposes its inherent flaws, as well as its structural arbitrariness. To see democracy as something positive, it is necessary to analyze it in an ostensibly superficial way, deliberately ignoring all its fundamental interferences.

Imagine that you are a democratically elected politician, or intend to become one. And keep in mind that even if you initially have beautiful, noble, and just ideals, you will eventually be corrupted by the democratic system—no matter how upright, morally cohesive, and ethically driven you consider yourself to be. Democracy will corrupt you. To ignore this is to ignore reality, human nature and the functional dynamics of a democracy.

In democracy, for example, you can actively try to censure your opponents on the grounds that they pose a threat to democracy. You can accuse your political opponents of advocating radical discourse; thus, he will opportunely use this chance to say that the only solution to protect democracy is to prohibit them from expressing themselves — even if the speech of their opponents has absolutely nothing radical or extremist. You just need to make it look like they have dangerous speech. Since democracy is the reckless art of guile, manipulation and rhetorical deterrence, you will obviously use this to your advantage.

Likewise, you can accuse all people who actively oppose democracy of being fascists and extremists. You might argue that arbitrarily silencing them is the only way to protect democracy. Additionally, you can try to pass a law that guarantees freedom of expression, omitting the parts that impose censorship on all people who defend ideas and concepts that diverge from your proposals, by categorically classifying the speech of all groups that disagree with you as being too dangerous for democratic ideals. Thus, you enable censorship against your opponents, while promoting yourself as the champion of freedom of expression.

In democracy, it is possible to consolidate the most iniquitous and terrifying objectives possible, with the approval of constitutional legalism. All sorts of restrictions, nepotism, fraudulent schemes and corporate monopolies can be enabled and legalized if you have the power and influence to do so. In democracy, there are simply no restrictions or limits on evil. Democracy is, par excellence, the system of exchanging favors. Invariably, those in power will have the means to literally do anything they want. If someone discovers something that seems to be a minimally shady deal — that vaguely resembles favoritism, a bribe received from a contractor or a bribe received from a corporatist — it will suffice for the politician who was caught with his hands in the dough to say that it is a licit transaction in the name of democracy, and that this is the will of the people. Then everything will be fine.

As a result of systematic indoctrination, the collective consciousness associated the very idea of democracy with inherently humanitarian and positive things. Therefore, when they hear the word democracy, many people automatically associate the concept of democracy with a constructive, correct and inherently just and benevolent ideal. Nothing, however, could be further from the reality of the democratic system.

In democracy, a politician can promote himself as the champion of freedom and humanitarianism, by simply promoting democracy, even if all his ideas, government proposals, character, conduct, personality and background as a public person are diametrically opposed to all that which is good, prudent, constructive and wholesome.

In democracy, anything is possible. You can institutionalize a dictatorship, but call your regime democratic. It can pass restrictive and tyrannical resolutions, but claim that it does so to protect democracy. Indeed, there are no limits whatsoever to the degree of malevolence, authoritarianism, corruption and tyranny that can be achieved in a democratic regime.

In democracy, the more immoral a politician is, the better for him. The more unrealistic, utopian, resentful and spiteful his speech is, the more easily he will be able to promote himself. The more demagogic, populist and appealing your speech is, the more enthusiastic your voters will be. All you have to do is throw in a few catchphrases and cutesy one-liners into your speech and “voila” — the electorate will be on your knees.

In democracy, a politician only needs to have good oratory, to be a master of rhetoric. It's literally the only skill he needs to possess to have a place in the sun. He doesn't need to be a good administrator, he doesn't need to have a good professional history, he doesn't need to have founded a successful company, he doesn't need to have created jobs. He just needs to have a lot of lip service, a supposed anger against the injustices of the world and a lot of imaginary love for the poor. And, evidently, he needs to know how to express this masterfully to his captive audience, people who are easily manipulated and impressionable.

Remember that, in democracy, you can do anything. In democracy, you can blatantly promote imaginary enemies — like fascism, patriarchy and capitalism — and claim that they are responsible for all the nation's problems. You can claim that if you are elected, you will protect people from these imaginary enemies.

By the way, when the subject is imaginary enemies, we are talking about a field that has proliferated a lot in recent years, having become abundant. You can claim that you are fighting a tough battle against denialism, hate speech, misogyny and toxic masculinity, and your constituents will be touched by how hard you have fought to protect them from all these terrible enemies, which has been making an increasing number of victims every day. Just don't forget to make convincing facial expressions of indignation and sadness when speaking. If you manage to make a tear run down your face, even better. It will make everything much more realistic.

In democracy, you can promote censorship in the virtual environment, claiming that you are “regulating” social networks, claiming that you are fighting racism, sexism and “Fake News”, thus making the virtual environment safer for people. people, and strengthening democratic freedoms.

That is, in democracy, you can actively promote censorship, as well as all kinds of restrictions and violations of individual freedoms, under the pretense of protecting the democratic system. Democracy is so utterly devoid of cohesive, coherent values that you can effectively supplant freedom in a despotic, truculent, one-sided way, and still promote yourself as the champion of democracy and the guardian of individual freedoms. In a democracy, you can promote literally any abomination, crime or atrocity. Just use democracy as a justification, or insert the noun “democratic” at the end of any sentence.

This deplorable inversion of values is only possible through newspeak and its systematic distortion of the perception of reality, which enables the sophists to captivate crowds and remain in power. This is a perfect strategy for a democratic regime, a demagogic and populist system par excellence, which always degenerates into a kakistocracy — the government of the worst.

It is critical to understand that democracy is deliberately designed to bring the worst elements of society to power. Immoral, ignorant and ignominious people, perfidious and permissive psychopaths, rude and bestial parasites who have never produced absolutely anything — and do not have even the vaguest notion of how to undertake and manage a company — are precisely the people who will most appeal to the democratic system , and the more will endeavor to defend it.

As democracy normalizes squalor, vulgarity, degeneracy, degradation, iniquity, bestiality, stupidity, stupidity, ignominy, irrationality, and ignorance, as much as it institutionalizes the summary eradication of originality, individuality, productivity, intelligence and actively promotes the economic exploitation of the political class over the productive society — under the spurious justification of executing the popular will — it is inevitable that any country under a democratic regime ends up deteriorating in an inglorious, abject and irreversible way into a reprehensible and malevolent den of populist hypocrisy, ideological opportunism, histrionic demagoguery, institutionalized parasitism, and collective dread of imaginary threats.

Precisely because of the way democracy is formulated and structured, it will never attract good, correct, fair, decent and truly benevolent people to positions of power and authority. First, because people like that will never feel the need to govern their peers, or to exercise power and control over others.

Second, not only do these people get no reward for their good conduct, but they will often be punished in a democratic system precisely for having good conduct. In addition, good conduct — in general — will hardly put them in a position of power, since these positions are usually achieved by subjects who are pathological liars, perverse and wanton creatures, terribly cunning, unscrupulous and manipulative, who speak and do anything to get to a position of superiority. That is, democracy is effectively designed, structured and articulated to expel the most noble, fair and correct people in society from the chain of command.

We can only conclude, therefore, that democracy will never be the system of the good, the just, the honest, the efficient, the prudent and the productive. Consequently, democracy will never transform any nation into a paradise of glory, justice, prosperity, decency, cordiality, and temperance. It will do just the opposite.

Obviously, the official discourse of the system will continue to deceive and manipulate people into thinking exactly the opposite of what democracy really is, so that the masses will never arrive at a correct and cohesive understanding of what democracy truly represents. This will happen precisely because of the fact that democracy is the system of opportunistic manipulators, disguised demagogues, hysterical militants and virtue signallers, who will defend perfidy, hypocrisy, nepotism and favoritism, under a veneer of “justice”. social” on every possible occasion—especially in newspapers controlled by the corporate mass media—because that is a system that benefits them. Consequently, those who are in power or occupy offices and positions of privilege thanks to this system will never allow democracy to fall into disrepute or lose its credibility.

The wretched swamp creatures who defend this system will not allow the eradication of a structure that enslaves all just and upright productive people. After all, democracy places all citizens in a condition of slaves and ignoble servants of those in power, to be legally exploited, extorted and expropriated at any time, having the obligation to attend to all the whims of their owners. And even so, they will still have the cynical cheek to claim that this is the best political system, of all that exist or have ever existed.

Long live democracy.
