dictatorship
Today, most countries follow democracy. Why is this so?
The people of a country ought to decide what is best for them and democracy
ensures that the people govern themselves. This is quite the opposite of
dictatorship. But is it close to our real ideal? Doesn’t anyone of us want to
live in a perfect world? If people govern themselves, make the laws and decide
their future, is that close to perfection? Of course it isn’t. Perfection is
every human being treated like a human and not a single human being treated like
an animal. Will democracy erase the sheer hopelessness into which most humans
are born every day? The endless poverty?

While communism and dictatorship are regarded
unacceptable, forms of capitalism in the U.S.A and Europe are regarded
acceptable. Rules laid down in all these places do inhibit a lot of humans from
growing up to their full potential or having a fair share of life. Even the
unacceptable features of today’s democracies ought to be removed if we want a
fairer, more just world.
