Perhaps we are all born thinking democratically. We feel that the only just and fair way to live is for all to live the same way. And I agree with that. When mommy buys herself a new pair of shoes we think "why didn't she get me any?" Or when daddy buys himself a Milky Way from the stands at the grocery store, we think "why can't he get me a bag of skittles?"
Dictionaries offer a general definition for the simple term "democrat" to be a person who believes in the political or social equality of all people.
Having considered the basic ideologies for the two popular American parties - the Republican and Democratic parties - I've concluded that, though the democratic ideal of "common benefit," may be the most admirable of notions, it may not be the most effective for the sustenance of a nation.
Our genuine want for equality cannot be effective in running a nation simply because we are sinful by nature - unless, of course, we somehow convene in a cosmopolitan effort.
I use the two political parties purely as examples. There is more behind the two, I'm aware; however, their basic satirical ideals (republicans for a social order, which leads to a greater stability, and democrats for social and economic equality...especially as seen in this past election wherein Obama wanted to "spread the wealth around") work well as a basic foreshadowing to their true ideologies.
