 THINNING OUT THE USELESS EATERS : Miami IMC
In monarchy, we have the people of the constitution; in democracy we have the constitution of the people.
But in democracy the species itself appears as a particular [form of] existence, as one therefore that appears as a particular type vis-a-vis other particular [individual] existences that do not correspond to their essence.
Man does not exist for the law, but the law exists for man. In democracy law is the existence of man, while in other forms of state man is the existence of law.

DEMOCRACY: Government by the people; that form of government in which the sovereign power resides in the people, and is exercised either directly by them or by officers elected by them.
Right at the beginning, the phenomenon of democracy emerges with a dual identity, that is, its practice within limited social structures, and the philosophical examination of its flaws, limits and possibilities.
Greek democracy emerged out of aristocratic rule in what was a kind of revolutionary war, and so it emerged through the act of war.

Democracy is a form of government in which the major decisions of government -- or the direction of policy behind these decisions -- rests directly or indirectly on the freely given consent of the majority of the adults governed.
Democracy is a political system in which different groups are legally entitled to compete for power and in which institutional power holders are elected by the people and are responsible to the people.

 Right Web Analysis Coalition for Democracy in Iran
Lauding the Brownback Senate amendment of July 2003 supporting democracy in Iran, AEI scholar Joshua Muravchik, speaking for CDI, said: “This amendment is an important milestone in the relationship between the U.S. Congress and the people of Iran.
CDI states it was “formed to mobilize the efforts of groups and individuals across the United States, including Iranian-Americans, who support the aspirations of the Iranian people for democracy and respect for human rights in Iran.
Although CDI calls for greater democracy in Iran, the close association of neocons such as Ledeen and Sobhani with the shah’s son raise concern that this may form part of another U.S. plan to restore the monarchy in Iran.

 Polity IV Country Report 2003: Kenya
Despite these proclamations, efforts by Moi to control the electoral process in favor of his chosen successor, Uhuru Kenyatta, indicated that he was not truly committed to the establishment of democracy in Kenya.
Despite these efforts to subvert the democratic process, Moi was unable to control the outcome of the 27 December 2002 elections in which Mwai Kibaki won a landslide victory over Moi's chosen successor.
Election violence in 1992 resulted in over 1,000 deaths and the displacement of over 100,000 residents in western Kenya and in the central Rift Valley while Kenya's second multiparty elections, held in 1997, were also plagued by ethnic violence and government intimidation.
