Reply #45: Conformism and opportunism kills democracies...

And under the conditions, we experience now: from Berlusconi to Blair to Clinton to Schröder etc. One has to be very apathic to vote at all and think it will change the state of things.
I'm not apathic.
To vote for an alternative that isn't an alternative is apathetic.
And to move other people to vote for an alternative that isn't an alternative and deliver them to just one government more, that will not care about them at all is apathetic.
We don't talk about a real democracy anymore, where compromising between different interests is a necessity. We talk about the stalinist one party system, capitalism has become.
