...Democracy!"Democracy" is a concept I took for granted for a long time. It's what our political system is, it always has been, always will be, it's the best way, the only right way... it was one of those societal/world views I took as a given. When I learned more about the diverse options of political systems and U.S. committment to spreading/forcing democracy everywhere my first instinct was to take the counter position to that, to be Very Cool-ly anti-American. I still have a place in my heart that holds the dream and faith of a radical totalitarian dictator with all the right principles, motives, and strategies but until that imaginary person comes to fruition, I'm trying to really comprehend and appreciate democratic principles like free speech and expression and political participation. Now more than ever i'm paying attention to people rioting in the streets of their countries and putting their whole life on hold it seems to demand democracy. I started to think, "what do they know that I don't??" because I've been passivly living in societal conditions people are literally dying to secure for themselves. So I am trying to recognize activies I do that reflect democracy where I didn't realize before, and I'm trying to find avenues of participation I can take advantage of AND GET AMPED ON DEMOCRACY Archives
