"Demokratiya" so'zi qadimgi yunoncha "demos kratos" atamasidan kelib chiqqan bo'lib, taxminan "xalq kuchi" degan ma'noni anglatadi. Ta'rifiga ko'ra, qonun va qoidalarni qonunchilik yo'li bilan belgilash vakolati xalq qo'lida bo'ladi, ya'ni egemenlik aynan ular qo'lida bo'ladi. Nazariy jihatdan, barcha xalq o'z ishlarini qanday yuritish kerakligi haqida fikr bildirar edi, chunki ular o'zlari uchun nima eng yaxshi ekanini eng yaxshi baholay oladigan kishilardir. Biroq demokratiyaning amaldagi haqiqati bunday tasavvurdan ancha uzoqdir.

The word ‘democracy’ derives from the ancient Greek term ‘demos kratos,’ roughly translated as ‘people power.’ By its definition, it means that the authority to legislate rules and laws lies in the hands of the people, i.e. it is they who hold the sovereignty. In theory, all the people would voice their opinion on how their affairs should be run, as they would be in the best position to judge what would be best for themselves. However, the reality of democracy is far removed from this.

Aslida, demokratiya insonlarni xudo darajasiga noto'g'ri ko'taradigan tizimdir. Natijada zaif, ziddiyatli va cheklangan inson haqiqat va nohaqlikni belgilash huquqiga ega bo'lib qoladi. Shunday qilib, odamlarning xohish-istaklari asosida, ularning noxolis fikrlari, xatoga moyilligi va bilimsizligini hisobga olgan holda, boshqalar rioya qilishi uchun qonunlar yaratiladi. Shu tariqa avtobus haydovchisi mamlakatning iqtisodiy siyosatida so'z egasi bo'lishi, poyabzalchi hukumat qanday tuzilishi kerakligini belgilay olishi, ofitsiant esa tashqi siyosatni qanday tashkil etish eng yaxshi ekanligi haqida so'ralishi mumkin, bu mavzular haqida ularning hech qanday bilimi bo'lmasa ham. Shubhasiz, bunday jarayondan kelib chiqadigan tizim kamchiliklarga to'la bo'ladi.

In actuality, democracy is a system which falsely elevates human beings to God-like status. As a result, the weak, contradictory, limited human being is conferred the power to propound what is right and what is wrong. So, on the weight of people’s whims and desires, and taking into consideration their prejudices, fallibility and ignorance, laws are made for other people to follow. Thus, a bus driver could have a say in a country’s economic policy, a cobbler would be able to dictate how the government should be structured and a waiter would be asked for the best way to organise the foreign policy - all regardless of whether they had any knowledge whatsoever about the subjects. Clearly, the system arising from such a process would be full of inadequacies.

Bundan tashqari, bu odamlar tomonidan yaratilgan tizimda, ko'pchilik rozi bo'lsa, qonunlashtirilmaydigan narsa yo'q. Shu tariqa demokratiya zino, gomoseksualizm, giyohvandlik va boshqalar kabi eng shafqatsiz jinoyatlarni qonuniy qilib qo'yishi mumkin.

As well, there is no limit to what could be legislated in this manmade system, as long as the majority agreed. In this way, democracy can legitimise the most heinous of crimes - such as adultery, homosexuality, drugs etc.

Darhaqiqat, qadimgi yunonlar demokratiyani jamiyatni boshqarishning samarasiz usuli sifatida rad etishdan oldin anglab yetganlaridek, demokratiyaning kelib chiqishidanoq haqiqati bir necha kishining ommaga buyruq berishi edi. U bugungi kungacha dunyodagi har bir "demokratik" mamlakatda shunday bo'lib kelmoqda: ozchilik siyosatchilarning o'z manfaatlarini ko'zlagan holda ko'pchilik ustidan hukmronligi.

Indeed, as the ancient Greeks learnt, before they discarded it as an ineffective way to organise society, the reality of democracy from its conception was that of a few individuals dictating to the masses. It was, and indeed remains so until today in every ‘democratic’ country in the world, rule of the majority by a minority of politicians driven by the desire to fulfil their own interests.

Shunday qilib, dunyo hozir turgan ahvol nega shunchalik past darajaga tushib qolganini tushunish mumkin bo‘ladi. Kapitalistik mafkurani qabul qilish — ziddiyatlarga to‘la, boy va qudratlilar tomonidan dunyo boyliklarini talon-taroj qilish va nazorat qilish vositasi sifatida ishlatilgan mafkura — o‘z ta’sirini ko‘rsatdi. Natijalar hammaga ravshan, va undan kelib chiqqan vayronagarchilik dunyoning barcha qismlarini va jamiyatning barcha qatlamlarini qamrab olgan.

And so, it becomes clear why the state of affairs that the world currently finds itself in has sunk to such low depths. The adoption of the Capitalist ideology, riddled with inconsistencies and utilised as a tool by the rich and powerful to exploit and control the world’s resources, has taken its toll. The outcomes are plain for all to see, and the havoc that results pervades all parts of the globe and all sections of its community.
