Over geweld en democratie Is er niets beters dan een democratie?

The sudden disappearance of the traditional communist enemy in Eastern Europe has opened the possibility to wonder if there is anything better than democracy. It cannot be that democracy is as far as we can go in the development of our society.
Democracy is approaching its frontiers when we consider the huge and seemingly unsolvable deficiencies as the lasting poverty and hunger, the growing pollution, the subordinated position of women or the dependency of the majority of the people on the wishes of a small group of powerful and wealthy leaders. The contradiction between elite and mass seems to be an eternal antagonism.
In this book I have brought together a number of new ideas in order to advance to a new future, to take a new step in the development of human society. In such a future humans will be freer and more individual and less determined by public authorities and political mass organisations. Masspeople who are now powerless will get more power by using a certain amount of violence on a creative, autonomous and inventive way against elitepeople who in the first place want to preserve their own high income, its possession of more earthly goods than the average human and its privilege to give this wealth and power through to its children.
Because in a new kind of society power relations will be more equal, the autonomous massperson will have more influence on life in general and on his own life in particular.
Masspeople can work together in small temporary citizen groups of active, interested and involved people on the road towards a future beyond the present hierarchical elitist democracy. This road will be sometimes bizarre, chaotic or even objectionable but that may not be a motive to hang on to a dying democracy.
