In a world population of over seven billion, the categories I mention above come close to six billion. Everywhere you look, the combined wealth of all the world countries is in the hands of a few: the Donald Trumps of USA, the Dangotes of Nigeria, the Ruperts, the Motsepes and the Oppenheimers of RSA, the Khamas and the Brinks of Botswana. These are men (no women among them), who rule the world through the filthy wealth they possess and the influence they wield through the media, the networks of intelligence spies and malope (sycophants) in general.
We are told there’s more democracy in the world today. Yes, we have democracy in theory, but not in practice. General elections are manipulated and rigged by those who have political power and money to campaign and bribe the poor to vote for them; moreover, most of the poor don’t vote, either because they don’t know the importance of the vote or are discouraged or have lost faith in politics and think politicians are all the same; the so-called middle class, intellectuals, professionals, and small business-people are lukewarm and selfish as they can survive whether there’s democracy or not. Democracy isn’t always democracy, government BY the people. Nor government to serve people’s interests, therefore not FOR the people!
