Any democracy perishes by itself. After all, all power-structures are part of boom-and-bust cycles.
Q. Why, then, didn't our democracy collapse already?
A. Because our dying democracy is anxiously kept in a vegetative state.
Q. By whom?
A. By the wealth- & power holders, the top 0.01 percent, the dominant class who, in fact, have always held power. Indeed, democracy, in the end, always amounts to an elite (Robert Michels' Iron Law of Oligarchy, 1911). For when an interest group seizes power, it inevitably uses this power for their own good.
Q. What is their stake in democracy, especially liberal democracy?
A. The smooth running of their Wealth Pump. And the satisfaction of their unlimited desire for power. To achieve both objectives, it is necessary that people voluntarily and ignorantly cooperate in the attainment of a serf-based economy. Hence the facade of 'democratic elections' behind which the ruling class - backed by her presstitutes, think tanks and bureaucracies - are building a liberal totalitarianism.
Q. Will the course of things take a different turn?
