What is the Power of Unity and Nonviolent Resistance?

[nismaratwork]

exactly. fitness is a sign of righteousness. an outward sign of an inward reality.

You're joking, right? Because... if you reverse that logic...

Irrelevant.
NOW they have elections, and those are followed.
Thus, all there is to be said about "democracy" has been said, right?
We could also add wonderful Indonesia, which is also one of these new-fangled "democracies", with a merely regrettably upsurge in sectarian violence against religious minorities (last week, to the frenzied screams of "Allahu Akbar", three Ahmadis were brutally murdered..).
Not to mention the hopeless position of post-Saddam Assyrian Christians..

We have no reason to expect anything different to evolve in Egypt, if given "democracy".

Democracy I see like capitalism. Capitalism, by itself, is just another form of serfdom. Capitalism is a component for economic freedom, but by itself, is not good. It must be paired with a free-market and developed financial system.

Democracy I view the same. By itself, it's just another form of tyranny. Rule of the majority as opposed to rule of the minority. Democracy is a component for freedom, and must be paired with things that will protect the minority from the majority, and structured in a way to work on a nationwide level (like a republic for example).

But that only works if you’re fit as a fiddle, right...?

The video wouldn't play but I can see the title. Don't confuse differences in philosophy with a betrayal of principles.
