5 Generally Accepted Statements re Human Self-Governance (NWO/GR)
Statement # 1.
World-wide, in the past, people have had a structure of government imposed on them by a minority.

“The Statement does not refer to a societal minority imposing its government on a societal majority. This statement refers to the fact that in the family of earliest man, the male set the rules for his female partner(s) and children - a minority of one. Later in groups, it was a "chief", or a "king"......it is individuals determining a government structure for all. Then, for example in the United Kingdom, the wealthy nobles, barons, dukes, etc. force the King to share power with them, a minority (The Elite), and then laws got promulgated satisfactory to them (Not much consideration of the welfare of the majority). The first Statement refers to pre-democracy times.”
Statement # 2.
Over time, electors have democratically accepted the government structure proposed at the time, usually some variant of earlier forms of government (Who are "electors" has evolved over time).
Support – Bob Armstrong – Post # 122 – 23/7/24:
“The statement does not say that the people democratically accepted the government structure "imposed"! It says the government structure "proposed".
The general sentiment that people, in a democracy, "vote for the party of their choice" is true. The elector has become, now, in a democracy, responsible for the society from then on (Assuming it remains a democracy). In a democracy, everything is subject to the will of the majority. Electors around the world have voted to adopt capitalism, social democracy, socialism, Democratic Marxism, Communism and Fascism.....by electing parties with these various policies, the people are voting for the structuring of their government.
There is also, almost world-wide, the acceptance of "representative" government - this is being democratically adopted.”
Statement # 3.
Some societies have had imposed on them, or chosen by election, a dictatorship (Rule by the One). However, some societies have chosen by election, a democracy (Rule by the Majority).

Democracy means Rule by the Majority. But the point of the post is that that some societies are not democratic. They have not adopted "rule by the majority". They have adopted by election, or had imposed on them, dictatorships (Rule of the One).
Statement # 4.
People have passed "Constitutions" and developed Courts in order to have human rights respected and to prohibit the tyranny of the majority.
Support - Dilip Panjwani (Post # 111 - 23/7/15)
“... even a cursory peek at histories of nations will reveal multiple examples of 'tyranny of the majority'; it exists even today...”
Statement # 5.
People (A majority of the local government, at least) have the right to agree with each other on a government structure for themselves and can join hands to act jointly to govern themselves, and act in a way they feel "benefits themselves and humanity", so long as there is a respect for basic human rights.
Support - Dilip Panjwani (Post # 111 - 23/7/15):
“...the sad part about representative democracies is that the politicians who get elected do not serve the majority...they make fools of the majority (and minority), and sometimes it takes more than one term for the electors to realize that they are being hoodwinked, and then they elect a different party which hoodwinks them in a different way. The so-called majority does not rule, but decides which of the political parties they are less mad at. If only people could govern themselves, ........, where they may join hands with like-minded co-citizens in certain ways, that would be as close to Utopia as one can get...”
