The Amorphous Democracy
The amorphousness of the term democracy is utilized as a bait of legitimacy to rule by tyrannical regimes. Regimes who come to power by bullet or through fake ballot boxes.
The Abyssinian brigands and warlords, and many like them, exemplify the perversion of “democracy” as a license. Find detailed insights on TPLF tyranny in the previous article, “Democracy: a Prescription of Cyanide Pilli to the Abyssinia.”
A predatory, impoverished, and barbaric empire, paralleling European colonialism and the modern TPLF’s fascism, has dominated the South since the mid-1800s, operating under a single-party, military command structure.
The article critiques the widely touted “Western democracy,” arguing that its claim to solve global sociopolitical, religious, and economic problems is overstated and unsubstantiated.
Modern Education
Sadly, we, the products of a “modern education” system that was more indoctrination, uncritically apply its methods to solve our nation’s political, social, economic, and cultural issues.
Because of our training and socialization, we became believers of what was called certifications, such as BA, MA, Ph.D., etc., to validate our expertise from the education we have diligently absorbed without questioning its relevance or applicability to our niche and we turned to a burden of our society rather than solution.
Affected by strange ideologies such as socialism, communism, capitalism, democracy, etc., and the behaviors that come with them, they insist on imposing these beliefs on our society at any cost.
As a result, we and our society have had to endure the negative effects of these unfamiliar foreign names and the actions hidden behind them. Nevertheless, we did not learn from it and continued to be the marionette and die-hard to supplant strange terms such as democracy as the silver bullet to our problems.
We became unfamiliar with our own indigenous Gadaa-Seeqqee system, which was invented , developed , lived , fine tuned from generation to generations by the polymath, genius of the Oromo people practiced for time immemorial that proved to be the champion of sociopolitical–economic-religious., etc. system that has no comparison.
As Prof. Asafa Jalata, an author of eight books and over sixty research publications described:
I have studied the history of the world society, African, European, African–American, Oromo, etc, and I have never seen a system that can be compared to Sirna Gada-Seeqqee system, its complexity, mechanisms of check and balance of power, a civilization that can be able to be the model for the rest of the world suffering from the so-called western democracy of party lines in the 21st century.
Before the shadow of conquest stretched across Oromo land, a remarkable social fabric thrived, characterized by an inherent order that rendered institutions like police forces and prisons utterly unknown.
Conflict resolution was embedded within communal values and traditional justice systems, fostering an environment of mutual respect and accountability that precluded the need for state-sanctioned incarceration.
Within this self-regulating community, the degradation of prostitution was unknown, and consequently, the scourge of sexually transmitted diseases was an alien concept, foreign to a society where relationships were governed by deep-seated ethical codes and communal well-being,
It was only with the brutal incursion of Nefxaanyaa horeds the very “aliens of ethic and morale-less, dogs of war” — that these societal blights became tragically familiar, imported to the south through an invasion that not only shattered peace but deliberately introduced forms of exploitation and moral decay previously unimaginable within the Oromo way of life.
Mental and Material Dependent Clientele of the “Educator”
We come out from the campus to echo it and finally serve with loyalty. As they say: “A good boy or a good girl…” To put it in other words, unconsciously, through this training.
We turned to be mental and material dependent clientele of the “educator” of the establishment and strangers to our ancestral soil and culture. We feel “civilized”, when we behave, and act as the “educators” manner like them to be considered and entertained as an “intellect” for the eyes and the ears of the alikes; the certified peers.
Unconsciously we accept the prejudice attested to our culture and the very most of our people. That is the only purpose of the training of the established system what is called “Western Education” It is mostly important to the flag anthem-dependent “Quasi-African States”
As a whole who beats an empty drum of “Independent day” that did not hold a grain of truth in all Instances. Academia and its curriculum; more precisely, the indoctrination is to produce, and reproduce a loyal, perfect servant and the maintenance of the established systems eternity.
Otherwise, it is just a loss of time, energy, and resources. No one educates us about us. In other words no colonial entities and more preciously settler colonialists will educate the Indigenous people about themselves on this Planet.
In the opposite, they eliminate the Wisdom, History, and Culture of Indigenous people. In fact, the only purpose of the training of the established system what is called the “Western education, Academia and its curriculum; more precisely, the indoctrination is to produce, reproduces a loyal, perfect servant and the maintenance of the established systems eternity.
Otherwise, it is just a loss of time, energy, and resources. That is why no one educated us and will educate us who we were and who we are on this Planet, and provides us with the skills and the tools to learn and teach our own History,
Wisdom, Culture, Humanity, Civilizations, and Systems of our Administration and world view. No one taught and will never teach us the great civilizations of the African continent and the African people’s, Wisdom of our ancestral heritage and their role in world history and humanity.
Indeed, consistent wars of elimination were and are waged by settler Haberdasher or later Abyssinian colonists since their foothold in the African continent. More precisely, the unique Gadaa-Seeqqee System of the Oromo people and the Lua-system of Sidama people of the Horn of Africa among other Indigenous homemade, grown African systems.
These are some of those remarkable creations of the human mind that evolved into a full-fledged system of government, as a result of centuries of evolution and deliberate, rational, legislative transformation for at least six thousand years before the birth of Greece in global human history late alone to be the mother of democracy.
Indeed Even worse we attested, and we do still do, the strange vocabulary called “democracy” that turned the license of the rule of the established political system of tyrannical regimes. More on Gadaa-Seeqqee- the homegrown and real democracy of the Oromo people its’ measure pillars will be for which we have more facts and figure today than ever will be treated in the second parts of the coming article.
If we are honest to ourselves we the real democracy if stand from its literal meaning the voice of the people we must go back to our villages and learn from the genius organic intellectuals sitting under the shadow of the sacred Odaa tree, not in colleges or university who do not even know our existence let alone our Gada or Lua system Back to Athens, facts and figures on the Athenian soil at that particular period of time and environs will explored in part II
Were Athenians ruled by Democrats or Kleptocrats?
In order to have the full picture of what was called democracy and comprehensive understanding making a brief excursion to the history of the birthplace of Democracy, i.e. Athens may shed more light.
Most significantly, what it intended to the people of Athens as a whole and the system that ruled the Athenians at that specific time and place and to evaluate and final judgment on the subject as a whole. Here, clear distinction must be made.
The Athenians, in that particular time of their history found their own way to solve their societal problems of their polis (city-states) at that period of time they faced and come out with term democracy and implemented it.
They did not claimed to solve the socio-political economic problems beyond their boundaries of the world they did know nothing about it indeed. That is in fact their own right and no one can criticism them from outside their polis.
That is not the issue here, but the imported version of it that traveled to the rest of European metropolitans and via sees and oceans and the world we know today and those who consider themselves as the apex of democracy and its bodyguards.
The term democracy of Athens, later Greek origin (Dēmokratiā), where Demo means (the mass of ordinary people) and Kratos (the political power, rule.) Literally, in English, that meant the political power of the mass of ordinary people. It was introduced by Cleisthenes as reform of the tyrannical Archons (rulers) of the notable city of Athens in 507-508 BC. Similarly, reforms were also existed in some Greek city-states.
Apropos, Greek, It worth’s to note that the word Greek as “quasi state” by itself was granted by Rome that was derived from Graiksos, inhabitants of Graia a town of Boestai district around Thebes from Greek word Thē bai.
Thus, before, Romes occupations, Greek was an empire by itself that incarcerated scattered autonomous tribes around the Mediterranean Sea, such as the notorious classical rivals of the military city of Sparta and Athens, and incorporated into what finally called Greek.
It must be called the Greek Empire indeed. But, Rome reserved the term and privilege of naming itself “Imperium Rōmānum,” where Greek turned its colony.
The Greco-Roman empire brought the term to the rest of what we know as Europe, and later on the extended immigrant families via Seas, Oceans of European expansionist and colonists further disseminated to the rest of the world as we know it today. The article continuous in part 2…….?
