$DeMoCrAcY$...

As world humanitarianism grows in stature and gains more recognition, equalism and democracy has been given a good recognition in world politics. To what point should democracy be implemented? Are democratic ideals - majority rules - truly in the best interests of our country, or is it merely the manipulated majority of predominantly uneducated country?

A leader is often a person on a lone crusade pulling against the tide. As in the bible, it is the wide path that leads to destruction, but a narrow footpath that leads to life. Was it the majority at first that fought against Apartheid. No. The majority of coloured people accepted white rule. It was a small, underground minority that worked tirelessly in order to change the inertia of the masses in our country. The same was true in Germany. Hitler was a dictator. He manipulated people through overwhelming propaganda. His rule is probably to this day one of the most notorious reigns in history, yet the majority in Germany would have voted for him.

The president of the ANC has been on trial for rape, corruption, money laundering, fraud, and he has 4 wives. Zuma is next in line for president - the majority of our country is on his side. Who among the politicians is going to stand up against an immoral dictator?
