minitrue, I like your comment and fully agree with the deceitful phony nature of this NOT-democracy of the people.
However, as an alternative to calling the âlittle peopleâ (as Leona Hemsley did), merely; serfs, peons, wage-slaves, peasants, or other terms that are perfectly accurate, but do not point to their tyrannous oppressor, I always call them "subjectsâ of the Empire â since this term gives people the correct name of the thing, predator, and actual structure which they could and should Revolt against, just as the earlier American colonists and 'subjects; of the Empire well understood what foot of Empire was on their throats and what âthingâ they needed to confront and overcome.
Being a serf, peon, peasant, or pauper â which most of us are ---- does not give the serf enough of an identity, as the âsubject of an EMPIREâ does to fight back against a specific thing, the EMPIRE that is enslaving him as a âsubjectâ.
All Revolutions throughout history are fought âagainst Empireâ ---- although they are sometimes disguised with other names like: dynasty, monarchy, dictatorship, oligarchy, fascism, plutocracy, et al.
