Librarians consider free access to information the foundation of democracy.
Marilyn JohnsonStichwörter: democracy librarians
Everything is argued over in this world. Apart from only one thing that is not argued over. Nobody argues about democracy. Democracy is there as if it was some sort of saint in the altar from whom miracles are no longer expected. But it’s there as a reference. A reference. Democracy. And no-one attends to the matter that the democracy in which we live is a democracy taken captive, conditioned, amputated. Because the power..the power of the citizen, the power of each one of us, is limited, in the political sphere, I repeat, in the political sphere, to remove a government that we do not like and replace it with another one that perhaps we might like in the future. Nothing else. But the big decisions are taken in a different sphere, and we all know which one that is. The big international financial organisations, the IMFs, the World Trade Organisations, the World Banks, the OECDs. All..not one of these entities is democratic. And so, how can we keep talking about democracy, if those who effectively govern the world are not chosen democratically by the people? Who chooses the representatives of each country in those organisations? Your respective peoples? No. Where then is the democracy?

To view the opposition as dangerous is to misunderstand the basic concepts of democracy. To oppress the opposition is to assault the very foundation of democracy.

I think it's hard to learn democracy when we make children prisoners until they're nineteen years old.
Mimsy SadofskyStichwörter: politics education children democracy
ننسى الأصل أحيانا ونمسك بالشكل.
ننسى أن العمل السياسي في النهاية تعبير عن
حقائق اقتصادية اجتماعية بالدرجة الأولى.
ننسى أن الحزب هو في حقيقته طليعة سياسية لطبقة اقتصادية اجتماعية ، ولا يمكن أن يكون شيئاً آخر ، لأنه لا يجتمع على الهدف الواحد إلا أصحاب المصلحة الواحدة.

The problem with call-in shows is quite simple, if you only dare to admit it: Democracy is best when not everyone can be heard all the time. If we are constantly reminded of all the stupid things that people say and think, it becomes rather difficult to remember the good and noble arguments for everyone to be able to participate and decide.
Johan HakeliusStichwörter: democracy elitism populism
So much of liberalism in its classical sense is taken for granted in the west today and even disrespected. We take freedom for granted, and because of this we don't understand how incredibly vulnerable it is.
