Gaddafi: Multiparty democracy treats people ”like donkeys”

From Albawaba

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi stated multiparty democracy is a sham promoted by governments that treat their people "like donkeys" and deny them real power, the official Libyan news agency Jana reported on Monday.

Gaddafi added in a speech last week that his country would never abandon its "state of the masses" system of rule by town hall meetings, which he has long predicted will be eventually embraced by governments around the world, Jana said. "They talk about the alternation of power, Jana quoted Gaddafi as saying. "What does that mean? It means that people are being ridden like donkeys."

"The world is fed up with parties and elections. Even the Western intelligentsia feels disgusted with the party system and the farce of elections. They acknowledge the fact that what is going on is not democracy but falsification."

"The world is going to eventually embrace the peoples' authority, sweeping away all those old systems."

I like that!

that's the way it should be.

all this bullshit with parties, media, campaigning, money, etc. is pure evil.

communities should come together and govern themselves at the local level, simply coordinate and exchange ideas, knowledge and goods on a national and international level.

"Money" has no value - people do.
