There should neither be a dictatorship of the majority nor of the minority. The governance system should be a sensible, rational and logical one. A true democracy and not a demagoguery.
Many people are undecided on what a Democracy is and what a Dictatorship is. I copy-paste the below post of mine from elsewhere and present the difference and the history of Democracy and how it should be implemented.
A lot of criminals, genociders and war criminals in the world have existed through the system of elections. Should their crimes be ignored just because oh they won by a thumping majority ? The Anglo style of so-called democracy with political parties, a complicated political structure and four-yearly elections is not democracy but an illusion of democracy, actually an anti-democracy because when the candidate with majority vote wins the people voting for the losing candidates don't have a say in the running of the country until the next election comes around when they supposedly get a chance at electing their choice of candidate. But during the majority rule why is the minority's rights taken away ? And in fact even the people whose candidate won by majority vote don't have a direct say in the running of the country. It is the PM or the president and his or her ministers who have the final say, not the citizens. How is any of this democratic ?
Real democracy is Direct Democracy where the citizens exist in a system that has no party and no four-yearly elections and they are able to directly influence the management of the country as to its internal needs and external relations, and have their ideas implemented. Our Greek members,
@Foinikas and
@Apollon, can say more on this but as per my understanding the word Democracy comes from the Greek word Demokratia which was a concept produced by the Greeks about 2500 years ago where the citizens would directly manage the running of society without any boss lording over them - a king in those days. But this Greek system was flawed because this political system prohibited women from participating and also maintained the slave system where also the slaves too couldn't participate. But such an idea was very good for a time when feudalism and monarchy existed. However in modern Libya in the 1970s, Gaddafi and co. brought out the system called Jamahiriya which was also a Direct Democracy system but where potentially every citizen could participate in the management of society - from neighborhood level to national level to the country's foreign relations and all this guided by progressive people. I will quote from
a thread from 2015 :
So do you think a tyrant like Erdogan or a war criminal / genocider like Obomba would have gotten legitimacy ? Not, because the ideas of those two would have been discussed among the citizens and rejected by the masses. So the Libyan Jamahiriya wouldn't have armed international criminals and financed them and provided them with bases to sally out into Syria and genocide Syrians.
As to how the Jamahiriya concept is laid out in theory you can read post# 9. And from
this page you can read as to the basis of the political and socio-economic systems of the Libyan Jamahiriya.
The Jamahiriya concept is truly the realization of the desire of Communism where the people rule themselves without a traditional government - the "Withering away of the State". However the Libyans didn't call their country as Communist but yes Gaddafi did write an essay titled something like "Has Communism arrived yet ?"
The Jamahiriya political system can be applied to any human society. We should desire for it for every society, added with a progressive socio-economic system. These will remove the political and socio-economic wrongs, injustices and disparities there. In post# 9 I have linked my proposal for a new socio-economic system that is almost Communist. Don't go by the label, please read it and you will find it a progressive one.
