“民主”一词源自古希腊语“demos kratos”，大致译为“人民的力量”。依其定义，立法制定规则与法律的权力掌握在人民手中，即主权属于人民。理论上，所有人都会就如何管理自身事务发表意见，因为他们最有资格判断什么对自己最有利。然而，民主的现实与此相去甚远。

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.

实际上，民主是一种错误地将人类抬升到类似神的地位的制度。结果，软弱、矛盾、有限的人类被赋予了决定什么是对、什么是错的权力。于是，依据人们的一时好恶和欲望，并考虑到他们的偏见、易犯错误和无知，便制定出法律，让他人去遵守。这样一来，一名公交车司机可以对国家的经济政策发表意见，一名鞋匠能够规定政府应当如何组建，一名服务员则会被问及应如何组织外交政策——无论他们对这些事务是否有任何一点了解。显然，由这样的过程产生的制度必然充满缺陷。

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.

此外，在这种人造的制度下，只要多数人同意，立法就没有任何限制。如此一来，民主制度便可能使最丑恶的罪行合法化，例如通奸、同性恋、毒品等。

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.

确实，正如古希腊人所认识到的那样，在他们最终将其弃用、认为它不是组织社会的有效方式之前，民主从其诞生之初的现实，就是少数人向大众发号施令。直到今天，世界上每一个所谓“民主”的国家，情况依然如此：由一小撮受自身利益驱动的政客统治多数人。

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.

因此,世界目前所处的境况为何如此低落,其原因便清楚了。资本主义意识形态充满矛盾,被富人和权贵用作剥削和控制世界资源的工具,其代价已然显现。其结果人人可见,由此造成的混乱遍及全球各个角落,渗透到社会的每一个阶层。

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.

全人类如今正处在十字路口。当今人为制定的各种制度与意识形态已惨遭失败,凡是被推行的地方都带来了浩劫与毁灭。改变势在必行。这种改变必须是全面的,必须行之有效,并且必须是人类的正途。人类是否有一条出路?是否存在解决之道?

The whole of humanity now stands at a cross-roads. The current man-made systems and ideologies have failed miserably, wreaking havoc and destruction everywhere the are implemented . A change is needed. This change must be comprehensive, must work and be the correct way for mankind. Is there a way out for humanity? Is there a solution?
