Democracy
/
On the one hand, Theocracy has a good way
of making sure society is just, because the
country that choose theocracy as their law
like Iran, Medieval Europe, etc. They have
their own law for God, like Sovereign
Monarchy, Ecclesiastical supremacy.
Everyone in country believe the presence of
god. The claim that the sovereign is divine or
subject to god is sacrosanct. This view mainly
believes that politics is a kind of power of god
to arrange the world, and it is obedience to
god, while the monarch is the representative
of god in the world, so it is necessary to
unconditionally submit to the rule of the
monarch in the world, and to recognize the
rationality of hierarchy. This view is strongly
theocratic. The epitome of theocratic theory
is Thomas Aquinas. Theocratic theory is the
ruling tool of the pre-capitalist society to
maintain the political and social order at that
time. It is good because the believers will
obey god's laws and morals unconditionally,
don't do anything against god's will. All laws
have the tinge of god. But the root of the
theocracy power is to ensure the supremacy
of monarchy, which is a common form of
primitive society and slave society, and
reached its peak in the feudal era. Theocracy
is not easy to be used by national extremists
and political hooligans. For example, Hitler
came to power through democratic elections.
But, there are serious problems with this way
of making a just society, because This system
has serious inequities, nepotism, unequal
opportunities and sovereignty.
These are worse than the problems faced by
Democracy. Basically, it is use of divine
power to deceive the governed class. It is a
subjective conjecture that cannot withstand
reasoning and empirical evidence, and is
often a talisman for the tyrant to persecute
the people with divine power. Ancient
theocratic power was a means of ruling class,
a political theory of the feudal monarchy. The
ruler claimed that his right to be ruled was
"assigned to heaven" and that he was God's
agent in the world. The people should obey
him unconditionally and form his absolute
political power. This is called the monarchy.
The monarchial power is the combination of
royal power and religion, the product of
primitive slave society, and the supremacy of
monarchy is the product of feudal society.
The theory of "monarchy supremacy" has
been beneficial to the unity of the country
and the stability of society, and to the
formation of a nation-state. The power of the
Pope is so powerful that he can freely
mobilize the army to launch wars, corrupt
relationships, and deceit from the people
below. They used human ignorance to
whitewash a sinful fact, let normal people
give them money and time, until they die.
Society is ruled by theocracy and ideological
spirit is bound by doctrine.
Meanwhile, Democracy has the significant
advantages, Democracy is conducive to
government integrity. Under the multi-party
system, power is relatively scattered, and it
is difficult for one party to hold power alone.
Political power is subject to greater
supervision and constraints, thereby
minimizing corruption. The head of
government is headed by the head of the
largest party in the legislature to ensure that
government policies are supported in the
legislature. The law of Democracy wrote by
not one hand, it means more people agree it.
All members of the government's cabinet are
also members of parliament, and members in
power can prevent parliamentarians from
gradually becoming disconnected from the
actual society.
So, more adaptability appears in society.
