Definitely in Russia we just have to reanimate and continue the process of democratization of our Society and development of People's Self-Government, especially in Local and Municipal Self-Governance, which started in the 90s.
But do we need to do it exclusively copying the practice of the Western democratic tradition?
Or Russia is able to offer the World its own Northern way of democratization of Society!
What shortcomings are present in the Western model of democracy, which grew out of the ideological traditions of the Modern State of Thomas Hobbes since the 17th Century?
1. Western democracy is always the choice of the majority, which does not correspond to the modern society, consisting as a rule no longer of the Monolith of the majority as it was in the 20th Century, but of many different Minorities.
2. Absence in the Russian political tradition of CONCURRENCE as the basic foundation of Western Democracy, which leads to the fact that the choice of the majority in Russia necessarily slides into the Authoritarian system of the Society.
3. Western democracy in principle is not based on the Power of the People as such. In fact, general elections are at best a struggle between elite groups. The main real engines of this system are: career ladder within the bureaucratic apparatus and along the party line, as well as competitive struggle (but the struggle not of specific candidates and not even of ideas and meanings, but of PR-technologies during election campaigns).
Do we need such a Western system of democracy?
Northern Democracy allows organizing the Society so that the higher the level of moral and ethical qualities of a Man is, the higher he is in the social ladder, the higher is the level of mind, will, education, upbringing, wisdom and awareness.
When using the mechanism of Northern Democracy, Society is built NOT from top to bottom, but from bottom to top. In fact, instead of the State (from the word Sovereign), we get Self-Organization and Self-Governance of the Society or the Power (people Hold).
The Power through Northern Democracy allows to take into account absolutely different opinions, including those of Minorities and is able to unite absolutely different people: with different political views, different nationalities and confessions and even with different language preferences.
Northern democracy is NOT based on the assumption that one political or economic ideology (socialism or free market, liberalism or public administration) should win in the country. Northern democracy proceeds from the fact that different approaches can be applied in different situations, those that are most effective in a particular case. The only important thing is that these approaches should be implemented by the MOST Worthy Representatives of the Society chosen by the mechanism of Northern Democracy and that the Society at any moment can replace those Representatives who do not cope with their duties.
And most importantly Northern Democracy has an answer to the main question of Mankind - WHY?
The answer is: for the purpose of creating the most favorable conditions for the DEVELOPMENT of each individual and the Society as a whole in Unity, Love, Harmony (Adequacy, Honesty, Truthfulness and Justice), Joy (from the reward for the achieved positive results), Safety (Security) and Freedom for each individual to achieve his personal Happiness by increasing the level of his Awareness!
