electorocracy

electorocracy is a substitute for democracy, a word so polluted by doublethink as to be almost useless. in fact electorocracy is more useful nowadays, as i intend to discuss and promote the rule of the nation by the electors.

electors are those people resident in a nation who are members of the ruling class, when it is a very big club. this club can be small, a cabinet is a good example, but when small we already have a name- oligarchy. or it can be a little larger, such as a parliament. this too is an oligarchy, but doublethink and newspeak have effectively hijacked the word 'democracy' for this society.

electors are citizens, another word newspeaked into uselessness. electors are citizens who can vote. this was the original meaning of 'demos,' the athenians weren't too admirable about who were 'people,' limiting the word to 'sons of athenians and enrolled in the militia.'

so i have dodged around the the use of the word 'democracy', to come to its original use, the people who 'count' because they are counted in the resolution of political propositions. i hope to demonstrate that that number should be large, as large as the number of adults born in a nation, plus invited immigrants willing to participate in the aims of the nation.

'democracy' has a good reputation chiefly because of the glory of athens, and 'citizenship' as the quality of being a member of the ruling class is immensely appealing. this appeal threatens the elites who intend to rule the 'mob,' so national elites have been engaged in diluting this appeal for hundreds of years. the writers of the american constitution hit on a method of pacifying the american electorate that was simple and immensely effective: they said: "democracy is a good thing, and here it is: with the latest improvement, 'representative' democracy does all you need, and requires no effort beyond choosing which selfless saint will work himself to exhaustion serving your personal interest."

actual democracy never recovered in the usa, although it made a weak appearance in some of the states. the result is, america has purported to carry democracy to the world while not actually having any.
