more than 35 million people around the world are trapped in a modern form of slavery (according to a report from the Walk Free Foundation)
* forced labor * human trafficking * forced marriages * debt bondage * commercial sexual exploitation etc.
what about the role of Democracy in all of this?
does present day Democracy help or hinder?
could it perhaps be argued that Democracy itself presents a charade of freedom, personal autonomy and individual self determination?
could Democracy be seen as an effective herding of the masses towards a sociopolitical pen built exclusively for mass exploitation (slavery through consumerism by unscrupulous politicians controlled by warmongering bankers)?
could it be argued that Democracy is only a malicious front for big money, big power players? …big financial players who enslave the vast majority to an artificially induced consumerist reality which is itself disguised slavery?
could it be that by voting in and for this charade which we call Democracy, the unwitting electorate are effectively selling themselves into slavery?
if so, the figure of 39 million should be changed to being possibly much more than 95% of all the people in the world… not so?
