Real democracy – government by, for, and of the people

The true measure is : does the government work for the people, or vice versa.

Is it a sham / illusion / deception 'democracy' - elections, where one is forced to choose between elite factions, that are basically the same ideology? 'Pick a card, any card ...'

Or is there a better way based on merit and that is bottom up - a system that truly responds to, and cares for, the people?

In China, the people are family.

In the West, the people are livestock.

-- Recently, out of the hundreds of countries in the world, three decided to suicide, to serve their puppet masters : the Philippines, Argentina and Italy. Will Taiwan (not a country) be next? Are they Chinese or just fodder on a US missile base ??? --

China has defended itself (hence the Great Wall), but never been expansionist ...

YT comment : George-rj4fj :
"They who point fingers at China, failed to notice the huge expansionism of the Euro-Caucasians throughout the world so that some 2/3 of the world speaks not only English and Spanish but have also been forced into adopting Western cultures, religion, history and clothing. Talk about "cultural genocide"!
They who accuses China of "expansionism" are also ignorant of history. Mongolia and Manchuria became part of China not from Chinese Han expansionism of conquest but because China was conquered by the Mongols and the Manchus and became part of THEIR empires. So too did Tibet when it ran wars into China in an expanding of the Tibetan Empire - and was defeated and absorbed in turn. Chinese culture is an amalgamation of all the different cultures that were absorbed into the greater Chinese diaspora.
They who do not know history and are content in creating their own versions from western propaganda make themselves foolish by opening their mouths on topical subjects that they have absolutely no idea about."

How the ‘rules based international order’ is in reality a neo-colonial world order
How the 'West' subjugates the 'Rest' of the world (the great majority : 86% + many in the west who do not agree with the neo-colonial agenda) with sanctions, debt and vetoes, coups and puppets. This is the insane reality - a handful of supremacists in the West impoverish their own people in order to subjugate the rest of the world. And almost all of humanity is the loser. All the wars and famines that have resulted, and continue to this day. As for Western 'democracy' (it's all about the money), one only gets to choose between two puppets pre-chosen by the elite. Trump vs Biden - need one say more. Behind the theatrics, it is us and them (poverty equals 'freedom'). With Ben Norton ...
Something different – Roger Waters, Us and Them tour (music) – don’t miss it
YT comment - Marcus Silvio : "This song, for me at least, has always represented an enlightened global perspective; we are all just souls passing through the mist of life - not one of us more special or important then the other. It's up to as Humans, not men and women, not white and black, but as humans, to put aside petty differences and spread love; a love not restricted and shared with a few, but with everyone. As Roger said 'there is no Us and Them, just US'." ~~~ Choose LOVE ~~~ The Great Gig in the Sky ... The Lockdown Recordings (don't miss it - 99 seconds to midnight on the doomsday clock) ...
