This is what Democracy looks like:

Now some would say that these are the very fellows who propagated slavery.
They would be wrong.
These gentlemen introduced a form of democracy that would disallow slavery.

History speaks for itself.






Some would say this is what Democracy looks like:
They would be wrong.
While this may be an aspect of what is allowed in a democracy, this actually represents a form that also has historical expressions.
(formerly on display in the fallen Soviet Union)







On display are two competing narratives and social theories:
The first, by operating on its established principles, provided for the freedom of all men.
The second, operating on its principles, disallowed for the free elections by the people.

One ensures freedom for all, the other demands its own terms -regardless of elections.

Which one 'looks like' Democracy to you?
