the Elite Charade of Changing the World
Jun 13, 2020BraveNOTPerfect rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Let rich do what they know the best (being robber Barons) and wait for them to be “generous” to the rest of the world through their non profit initiatives, on their own terms. And off course, we should listen experts without any questioning and voicing our opinions, because elites know the best. “Are we ready to hand over our future to the elite, one supposedly world-changing initiative at a time? Are we ready to call participatory democracy a failure, and to declare these other, private forms of change-making the new way forward? Is the decrepit state of American self-government an excuse to work around it and let it further atrophy? Or is meaningful democracy, in which we all potentially have a voice, worth fighting for?”
