Ok Greek. Guess too much Turk got to your brain.
Go read what your cousin, Plato, had to say about democracy.
You do realize that some people are smarter than others. Why would you let the stupid vote? If people are smarter than others their vote should count more than the others. Unless you believe stupid people can rule themselves. Then, if you accept this premise, go to Africa and live among the stupid.
first of all learn who is δημος, it is not every body.
the mistake of modern systems is after USA and new policies which were coorect to new world, but wrong to old world,
I agree with plato,
some people are not to vote.
BUT NEXT TO PLATO IS SOCRATES HIS TEACHER AND SPEECH ABOUT THE WEAK
ΥΠΕΡ ΑΔΥΝΑΤΟΥ
better read that also, why we give the weak the same right as the strong,
the difference is in the meaning of Demos which is not all all people, but only those who have risk about the municipal.
in ancient SPARTA VOTE HAD ONLY OMOIOI 'EQUALS' WHY?
cause only them risk their life for sparta.
understanding that then we realize who's vote is correct,
before every vote is the apella or eklissia in which all cases must be heard,
and after is the vote,
democracy is a 'terrible' system, why? cause every time the ruler must afraid of revolt and hang,
something that is not in today systems, cause politicians learn you that democracy is every 5 years when you vote,
while democracy is in every day life,
workers did not vote in ancient athens, not even in sparta, quess why?
in roman times people vote for bucket of wheat,
today we say the word democracy every election time, we allow workers to vote, but after we f...orget them and after 5 years we call them to vote again.
Drugs are illegal all over world, but why exist? cause in democracy of every 5 years people do not have control to eliminate them.
understanding that, then you understand the ostracism, and why modern democracies are not real,
democracy in ancient Sparta was only a case of soldiers, who risk life
while in athens included merchants and every one that give to city defend like hire army.
that means that in ancient primitive democracy only those who risk life, or a land, a house, or pay taxes must vote, for city defence
while in case of judge like Ηλιαια (pericles judge) all citizens including workers should vote,
and foreigners (μετοικοι)vote was not allowed, while they were under protection of Gods and priest, and had only the freedom of speech
today we make citizen a foreigner in 4-5 years, while in ancient times needed a life time or his son or grand son was to become,
democracy in Ancient Sparta was like poor patrician affair WHO HAD NO LAND, and take about 4000 m2 when retired from omoioi, which was given back to state after their death
while in Athens was half patrician half plevean πληβειοι.
Democracy is the first case of clear different cases
others about judge, others about laws, others about military etc,
instead of απολυταρχεια (absolute) in which army judge laws was after 1 person.
when Plato speaks about democracy of Αριστοι means the same,
a soldier is not wise to vote about a workers law,
and a worker is not the correct to vote about the merchants law,
the stupidity today is that we have people wit 2-3 citizenshipsexample i have a EU passport, I have a USA passport, I have an Brazilian passportwhat am I and which country I serve with my vote?
that is not democracy that is a caricature of democracy
.
moving votes,
as we have moving capitals we also have moving votes,
in greece we know that,
people that had 20-30 years to come to greece when election come, parties pay their tickets and bring them to vote, at least that was until 1996, after they vote in greek embassies,
so the vote of one who is 50 years abroad has the same weight with one who lives in country!!!!!
what a democracy!!!!!!
