Dear Giorgio,
your scepticism can only be answered by future development. You seem
to believe that society should be left as it is without anybody trying
to change it. I will explain my motives: I am driven by hatred towards
all those political elites who have destroyed my life and the lives of
millions of others. I am not going to be a passive on-looker which you
seem to prefer. I am sure honest people can establish better systems
than those we have now.
Sincerely, Jiri Polak

Hello,
I agree with Mirek. In the future, fully developed democratic
systems, there will not be any need to have leaders (but there will
always be necessary to have some structures ensuring the running og
the system). We are not there yet.
Ancient Greeks called it Ou-Topos (Non-Place). It's commonly known as
Utopia now.
At this stage, when we are barely beginning to discuss truly
democratic systems and attempt, by trial and error, to put in place
some rudimentary mechanisms, leaders ARE needed! Current DD leaders
do not get payed, they do what they do because of deep conviction
and concern about the future of mankind.
A simple question: does mankind need their concerns? Does manking
need other Savyors who, in their name, rescue them from a life of
misery? Or isn't more commonly practiced the role of he-who-needs-to
show-how-miserable-mankind-is? A miserable mankind will never show
adequate responsability, rather a great need for authorities. Here
the circle closes.
Nothing personal, of course. I appreciate all the time and energies
these individuals spend in order to improve our lives. I'm only
asking if our lives need it.
Am i exaggerating maybe? I remember that an exaggerated love begets
hartred......
Therefore, there is no corruption and no reason to distrust this
type of leadership. We should be grateful to all those who assume a
(temporary) role as leaders in certain areas.
Sincerely, Jiri Polak
Absolutely. But Masters of all kinds and all ages MUST be abandoned
to be able to achieve personal independance (freedom?), thus a "fully
developed democratic systems", whatever this means.
Best regards
Giorgio
