First chapter «The instrument of government»

The instrument of government is the primary political problem facing human communities. This problem is often the reason behind family feuds and it was further aggravated to an alarming extent after the rise of modern societies. People today are still faced by the persistent problem of the instrument of government. Failing to find the ultimate and democratic solution of this political problem, many societies are bearing the burden of its far-reaching consequences and ramifications. The Green Book presents the ultimate solution to this problem. All existing political systems in the world today are the product of the struggle for power between potential instruments of government. This struggle, whether conducted by peaceful or armed means, may be a class struggle, a sectarian or tribal strife, or a power struggle between individual adversaries vying for political ascendancy. It invariably culminates in the victory of one instrument of government - whether it be an individual, a sect, a political party or a social class - and the defeat of true democracy. Political struggle which culminates in the victory of a candidate obtaining 51 per cent of the total votes of electorate, establishes a dictatorship in the seat of power garbed in the guise of democracy. It is in fact, a dictatorship because 49 per cent of the electorate would then be governed by an instrument of government they did not vote for, and which has been imposed upon them. This is the essence of dictatorship. Moreover, a political conflict may culminate in the rise to power of an instrument of government representing a minority of the electorate. Such an outcome is the product of an electoral process whereby the votes of the electorate are distributed among a number of candidates, of whom one would obviously obtain a umber of votes larger than the number obtained separately by any one of the other candidates. Yet, though the sum total of the votes scored by these other candidates would be the largest and represents a sweeping majority, the candidate who independently scored the highest percentage of the ballot, which is comparatively the lowest, is legally considered a winner in a democratically conducted election. In actual fact, such an outcome heralds the rise of a dictatorship in the misleading guise of democracy. Such is the reality of political systems of government prevalent in our world today: sheer dictatorship falsifying true democracy.
