This is really really an important piece of writing! I absolutely agree that the formulation of a policy does not precisely stand for democracy. Choosing a person as a leader is altogether different from agreeing with that person’s policies (which are more of his own interests or those he is loyal to. We need a communal form of life. I can’t help agreeing with Karl Marx here. I wish he were among us and could somehow reconcile the freedom of capitalism with the concern for communal well being. Excellent Piece! Thanks for sharing!
