The illusion of liberal democracy

The foundation of United States democracy is based on the power equilibrium between free people and avoid the privileges of royalty. Unfortunately, the Founding Fathers had in mind very specific characteristics of a free man: white, rich, Anglo-Saxon Christian man. In this way, representative democracy was not thought of as a participative government for every person after a fixed age. Thus, liberal democracy is a mechanism that enhances the access to power for a minority, not a government for the people to the people.
The imposition of liberal democracy produces political instability in many countries around the world. The Masonic lodges, the authoritarian regimes approved by CIA or Marshall plan impulses the American way to understand politics and economics in non-Occidental cultures. This imposition by the traditional elites in every country is the fundamental origin of the inequality income in Latin America and Southern Asia. Global neoliberalism is a process that extended low income around the world that maintain low prices in developed countries.
Donald Trump's election was a clear signal of the end of the liberal democracies. This process began with the election of Vladimir Putin and slowly progressed with the controversial election of George W. Bush. These processes were a natural product of the power and wealth concentration impulsed by the neoliberal management of economy and politics during forty years. Now, many societies around the world began a process of decomposition and chaos as a product of low incomes and social problematics. This process will not end until countries find an equilibrium between a low rise of inflation and good salaries and better living conditions.
New communication technologies impulse power concentration around the world. The Internet represented free communication between people around the world and an opportunity to face the complex problems of income inequality. Now, technological enterprises are controlled by defense contracts and publicity, making impossible free interaction outside the established system and enhance the violence in the streets. This social decomposition evidences that the elites were always there and the social mobility and wealth was only an illusion.
The elites only want to maintain power, without considering the ethical, political or ecological consequences of that decision. They must be replaced by force or the global population will face the consequences many centuries in the future.
