This book examines the various troubling issues related to democracy. It discusses the basic nature of democracy, the charade of universal suffrage, the democracy illusion, the injustice and sins of democracy, the heightening dangers of wars, the propaganda and soft power, the new democracy extremism, the alternatives to democracy, the democracy versus good governance debate, the sacred cause of democracy, the unavoidable wars and hidden wars among nations, the many dangers faced by the world, the real will of the people, the will for peace, the violent extremism of protesters and dissidents, and the violent racial and social discrimination of the state. It also ponders the future of politics

The book questions the tendency of many people to be obsessed with the "one-person-one-vote" and "universal suffrage" type of democracy, and yet nobody seems to be concerned that this was how Hitler rose to power in Germany before World War II.

Many different political systems, including democracy, can be used rationally and effectively to achieve all the desired objectives of a successful nation. All that is needed is good will, good sense, good leadership, common vision and joint effort from everyone.
