  New Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Democracy or the New Democratic Revolution is a Maoist concept based on Mao Tse-Tung's "Bloc of Four Classes" theory in post-revolutionary China.
This bloc of classes is symbolized most recognizably by the stars on the Flag of China, with the largest star to symbolize the Communist Party of China's leadership, and the surrounding four smaller stars symbolizing the Bloc of Four Classes: proletarian workers, peasants, petty bourgeoisie, and the nationally-based capitalists.
Once New Democracy has been established, the country is claimed to be ideologically communist under the leadership of the communist party, and its people are actively involved in the construction of socialism even as the country itself maintains and furthers many aspects of capitalism for purposes of rapid economic growth.

 Athenian democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 5th century version of the democracy, the ten annually elected generals were often very prominent, but for those who had power, it lay primarily in their frequent speeches and in the respect accorded them in the assembly, rather than their vested powers.
Under the 4th century version of democracy the roles of general and of key political speaker in the assembly tended to be filled by different persons.
Democracy was far from being the normal style of governance and the beliefs on which it was based were in effect a minority opinion.

 Promoting Democracy: Refining Our Objectives   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The historical and anthropological record suggests that tribal or village democracy existed in the earliest human societies; it was that primitive community structure in which all adults, or at least all adult men, were given a part in reaching consensus on the affairs of the group.
Generally tribal democracy is majoritarian, but it may also be majoritarian by fiat, with leaders laying down the absolute unquestioned principles by which the group is to be ruled without concern as to whether a majority would actually vote for such rules.
The eighteenth-century creators of this democracy were hesitant to call it democracy at all, for the doctrine stood squarely against the rights of the mob, emphasizing instead the sovereign rights of individuals to disagree publicly with the decisions of the community or government to which they bear allegiance.

 Seven new ideas for a democratic Iraq. By David Plotz
Democracy has unleashed ethnic and religious hatreds that had been suppressed, as new elections have vaulted to power radical Islamist leaders and genocidal nationalists.
Thomas Carothers, director of the Democracy and Rule of Law Project at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, notes that rushing elections reinforces the divisions that already exist in a society.
Carothers and others insist that a fledgling democracy should delay elections until new associations—business ties, social and professional networks, new political parties not based on tribal or religious affliation—have time to develop and compete with identity politics.

 New Deal Cultural Programs
For some, the New Deal offered a chance to act on the exciting ideas of Mexican muralists in their struggle to create a new public art not constrained by the conventions of the European art world.
Though the New Deal failed to accomplish the fundamental structural changes FDR's words suggest, his administration entered its second phase in 1935 with a renewed commitment to long-range and sweeping reform of American institutions, emphasizing social justice.
When the New York City WPA director was looking to purge his program of radical artists, he spotted trouble in a four-panel mural at Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Airport: he had three panels torn down and burned after he saw a figure who looked like Lenin and a plane with a red star that looked Soviet.
