Is Democracy...

a passing historical concept?

possible?

growing?

in need of renovation?

something we desire naturally?

a fools errand?

corrupted by corporations?

a hope and dream to be nurtured?

The marketplace appropriates. Hijacks. Demeans. Denudes. Abandons.

And so it has done with the latter 20th century idea of democracy.

ahhh. but is there a 21st century idea of a true democratic republic or system?

does capitalism eventually erode democracy or can a "bridled capitalism" fuel innovation, democracy and equality.

The nation state gives way to the corporate state.
