Does Democracy have a future?

The Second World War was over. In the aftermath, the United States rose to become the most powerful, advanced and wealthy country in the world. It became the main producer of every commercial product with an unlimited world market and virtually no competitors. The most advanced industries, technology, engineers and scientists were all housed in the U. S. It was a country united by feelings of patriotism and pride for its victory... Yet just one generation later, we've found ourselves in a vastly different country. The debt clock approaches 20 trillion dollars while almost 50 million people live on food stamps. We have been subjected to brutal attacks on our territory and new crimes occur every minute. The country is divided into feuding groups and is filled with unpatriotic, unqualified, and ignorant immigrants. We depend on foreign supplies while domestic industries are in decline. Drug abuse is reaching catastrophic proportions while our educational, scientific, core values continue to erode... This kind of decline looks like a collapse. Democrats and Republicans will blame it on internal and external stimuli, blaming each other. However, this does not change the result and does not provide hope for the future. Six Democratic and six Republican presidents elected during the post-war period could not stop this decline. Even short-term success of some of these presidents due to their policies and favorable circumstances has not been developed by their successors whose main goal is to further their party's interests. Leading politicians never lose in these political games. Regardless of the results, they keep their profits and just redistribute positions. It is only the country and the people that permanently lose. It is most definitely a new world, and we must ask ourselves: how did this decline occur? Where did our great nation go wrong?Knowledge passed down through generations continues its ascent in all places but one - our political sphere. The erosion of the system which once made us so great in near, and we can no longer idly sit by. Many predictions have made by great and famous people about the short lifespan of democracy as well as its transition into a dictatorship. Are we not approaching this tragic end? This essay reveals a fundamental mistake which occurred in the creation of the democratic government system. That's why the first task of this essay is to show the reader how the error manifests, where it leads, and the inevitability of its destructive impact, ultimately transforming democracy into despotism. We cannot change human nature. Thus, we need changes in the governing system that could utilize the interests of both - people and governors for creative goals, not for destruction. The proposed reform creates conditions under which the split will no longer be a means for gaining power, and will be replaced with creative competition in solving the problems the country faces. If you aspire to see our nation as it once was, the pages within will uncover the truths we've been denied and the solutions we must make and carry out.
