DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY—NONSENSE!

The parroted phrase—”dividends of democracy”—must be rooted out of the English lexicon and replaced with “dividends of governance.”

Electricity is not a dividend of democracy; it is a dividend of governance.

Erasing poverty is not a dividend of democracy; it is a dividend of governance.

Providing full employment is not a dividend of democracy; it is a dividend of governance.

Providing affordable education is not a dividend of democracy; it is a dividend of governance.

Providing healthcare is not a dividend of democracy; it is a dividend of governance.

Providing… is not a dividend of democracy; it is a dividend of governance.

Do you prefer a democratic government with a Gini Coefficient of 1 or any type of governance with a Gini Coefficient of 0?

Despite its autocratic, high-handed, and sometimes brutal justice, China has performed better than all democracies in lifting its population out of poverty.

Maybe, the rest of us should start thinking about democratic communism since we all love our freedoms.

But are we willing to trade our freedoms for improved living conditions?
