Violence is hidden within democratic structures because they are not radically democratic - Western democracy is merely a domestic convenience of consumerism.

To my mind, there is a solution which has to do with democracy, because democratic governments are subject to the will of the people. So, if the people will it, you can actually create international institutions through the democratic states.

Damned Canadian Democracy Sept 17th,2012
Democracy involves elections in case you didn't know,
So appointing unknowns to the Senate is nothing but a floorshow,
And why can't this democratic illusion be altered or changed?
Ask anyone and everyone and it cannot be rearranged.
So Canadians are caught between a rock and a hard place,
And we can't change Trudeau's Charter of Rights or have it displaced,
And then it gets worse because no one seems to know what to do,
We need strong democratic leadership to push our way through.
We need referendums and death with dignity very soon,
To even mention these changes, is considered inopportune,
I can only imagine what separatists say about this,
But I don't understand a word in French so I have to miss.

Russia under President Putin is less democratic and less free today than when he assumed office. If Russia cannot fulfill its obligation to the G-8 and maintain a high standard of democratic governance then its membership should be suspended.

Democrat
I am a democracy as a dear citizen,
The living of ownership is by dictation.
Throughout the world’s crust my energy is lust,
Never the level of complaint as a trust.
The democratic punch will hurt the men,
Who are the women in the den?
This den is a lair for the thorough work
Operating in the snowy artwork.
May democracy rule the pleasure of men,
Just as the governing of people is again.

Democracy is the common pursuit of mankind, and all countries must earnestly protect the democratic rights of the people.
Many of the contradictions in Postmodern art come from the fact that we're trying to be artists in a democratic society. This is because in a democracy, the ideal is compromise. In art, it isn't.

A country which proposes to make use of modern war as an instrument of policy must possess a highly centralized, all-powerful executive, hence the absurdity of talking about the defense of democracy by force of arms. A democracy which makes or effectively prepares for modern scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic.

The Democratic chairman doesn't need to be a household name. Most people didn't know who Ron Brown was when he was chairman of the Democratic Party, but he put the party in a position where Bill Clinton could come in and he had a solid base to run from.
