Just let me give a small provocative question, something
like a devil's advocate, but that has stuck on me since after my travel in
Tunisia;
"What is Democracy? What is good about that?"
After the Arab's spring, many countries graduated from
dictatorship, introduced democracy, and now chaos came on. Infrastructure
corrupted, still high unemployment rate, and the democratically erected
president was turned over by the power.
That's what I saw in Tunisia with my eyes.
That's what I heard from media with my ears.
No war in the democratic world? No way, see what happened in
a last decade. The good powerful democratic countries tried to spread the
world's majority's idea by force, with about 28 thousands people dead.
What I wanna say is, I just want to stop taking democracy
for granted without thinking and knowing anything about what exactly it is. I
think I like democratic system, so I want to talk about it logically,
rationally and naturally.
It was really nice to come here, outside of Japan, with a
lot of friends from another social system. Thanks friends from CSST.
