I like Dr. Dhakal's idea of "small government" but I am totally against the system of democracy. For me it is a system of mobocracy where 51% exercise their will on 49%, a form of government where three wolves and a sheep vote on what's for dinner. Simply stated, a democracy is a dictatorship of the majority. Socrates was executed by a democracy: though he harmed no one, the majority found him intolerable.A democracy is majority rule and is destructive of liberty because there is no law to prevent the majority from trampling on individual rights. Whatever the majority says goes! A lynch mob is an example of pure democracy in action. There is only one dissenting vote, and that is cast by the person at the end of the rope.

A certain Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler, nearly two centuries ago, had this to say about Democracy: " A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess out of public treasury.  From that moment on the  majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship."

I prefer Constitutional Republic like in the united States of America. However, the good old republic has now been hijacked and replaced by democracy. The founding fathers of America infact hated democracy. A republic and a democracy are identical in every aspect except one. In a republic the sovereignty is in each individual person. In a democracy the sovereignty is in the group. In a republic the group only has advisory powers; the sovereign individual is free to reject the majority group-think.

Lennin said "Democracy is indispensable to socialism." I am suprised by some sajhites who hates communism but favors socialism and when it comes to the word "democracy", oh... they just love it.

Democracy leads to socialism which ultimately leads to communism /authoritarian dictatorship. We should stop advocating for democracy.
