Dear Youcanhandlethetruth,
I should have defined what I meant by ‘constitutionalism’. What I mean by that is constitutional issues. I do not, at all, think constitutions are bad. I do, however, think that they were – and are – all not correctly made (i.e. by elitists, and not in a long-term process, and not reflecting the plural interests of all parties in the polity, and most often not in non-violent environments). An unwritten constitution thus has its advantages in this respect, but then again it is disadvantaged at times due to a non-established bill of rights except those defined in legal precedent or the civil code.
It is always a hard thing to see the intentions of a government as such a thing is a highly complex milieu. But by shifting our perspectives and applying different lenses, we can see that there are a large amount of initiatives, long-standing efforts, and at various levels of government in that milieu to mitigate most of these endemic problems and to better establish the democratic particles. I am by no way saying my political recommendations are being achieved, but there are a variety of endemic problems and democratic particles which are being targeted and improved the world over (this can be seen by conducting a frequency and proximity analysis of NGO, INGO, MNO, etc, publications of endemic problems and democratic particles).
I do agree with you that a more inclusive government is needed. We can move beyond the elitist establishment of representative democracy to allow people who desire to engage with their governments: such is possible with new information communication technology (ICT) developments. I also agree that special interests need careful monitoring so that corporate industry does not manufacture consent and try to plot the direction of society. I am, unfortunately, not familiar with the New World Order perspective and will have to read up on it.
Thank you for answering my question and I hope that I have provided an adequate reply to your post.
Thanks again,
Jean-Paul
