Nicely put together ! & Certainly looks like an interesting read by Attali - Well..to me democracy is just a number game & today I reckon we live in times of plutocracy - through out history man has always wanted more of everything! In this pursuit , driven by greed, we as a race have plundered nature, destroyed environment... all in the name of industrialization and economic development.
While the ideal of "Hyper Democracy" as stated by Attali sounds like an ideal world everyone would wish - it may be little far fetched from reality - not being pessimistic (pun intended!)
I think you need to have a better understanding of our human history, and also take away all emotions when accessing what this author has said.
Conflict has already started. USA, France, UK fired missiles to Syria. If that is not the start of a war, what is? There are economic sanctions all over the world like there were never before, and every war in human history has started with some form of economic sanctions, which differs in definition due to differences in time and civilisation.
Let's not forget the existence of Bilderberg Group, and families like Rothchild who are wealthier and more powerful beyond our wildest imagination. What do you think the top 120-150 richest and most powerful man and woman meet in a place where they discuss stuffs that are NEVER revealed to the public for? Do you REALLY THINK THAT THEY MEET TO DISCUSS HOW THEY CAN HELP THE WORLD AND MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE? (:
I urge you to do your own research, have an open mind, and re-visit this topic again when you are free.
he said hyper democracy can be achieved if we survive the global conflict. It is not something that is ideal that everyone would wish, we are already heading into that direction without even us realising.
I hope i have not offended you in anyway, and I appreciate a response, be it criticism or an argument. @siddheart
