The Democratic Manifesto

This is a 8,000-word book I wrote to expound my political beliefs. My opening thesis is that the United States of America is a capitalist oligarchy rather than a true democracy. After I establish this, I then provide a blueprint for what a true democracy would look like. Please tell me what you think of my little book!

You are aware, I assume, that the Founders of the current United States Constitution did not trust democracy one little bit. This nations was founded as a Republic, not a Democracy. Democracy is mob rule. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb sitting at the table and voting on what to have for dinner.

How's your analogy different from what currently happens in the US?

Founding fathers, they were smart and all, but the reign of their opinion shouldn't be forever and I'd say that they are the last ones that would like to have their stuff written on stone.
