Democracy My Ass, Too

"the irony of democracy is control."

the participatory and election framework of democracy is undeniably magnificent!

democracy empowered people and somehow helped free market to flourish. it is so empowering, most people were convinced to have an equal share of power with rightful leaders and supreme intellectuals. the monopoly of power suddenly is dispersed, much like monopolistic economy.

HOORAH! SUCCESS FOR DEMOCRACY!

funnily! democracy itself built its enemy stronger--a real backlash. the shared power didn't end monopoly of power. it instead grew mushrooms of power, or pockets of powers that have its monopolistic nature for one big damn reason: democracy taught people to have a "stake" on all decision-making.

ah democracy!
