It is important to understand, the term democracy has lost all of its meaning in the face of the post modern blind allegiance to capitalism, crushing racial politics, which has affected the governance of racial policies within the system, bloodshed & imprisonment, and the silent indentured servitude of millions to their retirement, where the beacons of wisdom are shipped off to be modestly cared for and abandoned. This does not give off the breath of democracy. Instead, it is a monolithic system of rule by the few. When free elections go to the highest bidder ( Citizens United V. Federal Election Commission), the vote unfortunately has been purchased. Even if, we are led to believe that our international governing bodies of law & trade (United Nations, World Bank, etc, etc.) give us hope, then consider the ability of powerful nations to veto action which clearly is the will of the people in certain regions. The existence of Multinational Corporations pursuing agendas and collective biases sway historical results behind the scenes. Even the ability of the United Nations Security Council to overthrow legitimate governments and arm unveted rebels against their government is far from the democratic ideal and more in tuned with a global order. This is a rule by interest alone. Unfortunately, it is the smoke screen of religion, nationalist democratic idealism, and an unwavering tide of corporate capitalism coupled with the lack of knowledge of contemporary history, and widespread hedonistic nihilism, which allows the continual colonization and indentured servitude of the African diaspora.
