ELECTRONIC DEMOCRACY

Power to the people
It seems to me that politicians are universally mistrusted by the indigenous people of their countries. With this in mind I think that the world?s people can govern themselves.
What is called democracy at the moment is a sham with politicians doing not what the people wants but what they want and what their masters in the global capitalist system want... The politicians have more in common with one another than with the people that they say they represent. Look at them in their uniform of blue suits, surrounded by their body guards and their every move and word recorded by the media. Not one of them looks like an ordinary person. Where are the casual clothes, the jeans, t-shirts and where are the women?
The politicians power in the past was derived from censorship: the politicians knew what was going on but the people did not. Now in the 21st century the internet has allowed all of us to learn the truth by the transmission of images from computer to computer. The next revolution will be international with the artists, intellectuals, the politically aware, the bleeding hearts and the concerned communicating directly to each other and sorting problems themselves
Government by the people for the people: a true democracy, an eletronic universal
democracy. The time is ripe for revolution.
