The Illusion of Democracy.
In these times of crisis, possibly at the end of civilised order, it is important to discard the myths which have weighed our race down, like lead weights around our feet. Liberalism, egalitarianism and democracy are some such myths: harmless or seemingly so in homogenous societies, but ultimately deadly when the elites sell out the people and bring in the aliens. Then the system is turned against the people who are fast dispossessed. The majority becomes a minority and "democracy" is used against them. Fancy Citizens Initiated Referendum in an Australia where the Chinese dominate population numbers? Well that future is just around the corner.
Human beings are hard-wired for hierarchy: the elites know this and rule because of this. Democracy then has always been a sham. "Democracy" gave us Dunstan in his pink hot pants, Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating, Howard and now Rudd. Judge a system by its fruits: any system which puts these guys at the top has just got to be wrong. And in the U.S. it is likely to deliver Obama as president. The "people" really do have a death wish.
