The greatest crisis of democratic rule is that it’s a lie. Those who are able to manipulate and to whom public opinion is fashioned into their favor wins the political favours of elections. The masses to whom a democratic right to elect a leader/party of their choice is afforded votes not by use of rational analysis of political scorecards but merely by persuasion of the winds of sponsored propaganda which in many cases has won barbarians and charlatans a throne of presidency. Thus through this barbaric dictatorship of the thoughtless majority things are bound to fall apart…and then we wonder why there is suffering, social ills and all symptoms of poor national governance. Thanks to the holly of the political hollies--Democracy!! None dare touch it on its studio; none dare criticize that holly covenant. Not all is lost here, the merriest of it, though not without a blemish, is found in countries in which the art of democracy is mastered by the leadership of the domineering political fraternity. Where the poison of democracy is met with a master craft antidote against its inherent dangers as presented above. We find this in Scandinavian countries and other western nations where the art cometh. Consequently, on the other end of the political tit-for-tat, the scariest nightmare of autocracy is the one which befell the people of Zimbabwe, Swaziland and of Democratic Republic of Congo for example in which those who fancy themselves to be legitimate leaders have a judgment of a political pre-scholar. And for that reason impose pre-scholarism into the cultural, political and economic life of their nations. The result of which is a sum of a wretched nation, ravaged by poverty and all its attendant ills while the so called leaders are patted on their backs by their evil political sponsors whose goal is to take full material advantage of the sorry state of affairs obtaining in that particular country. In this case there is a mutual evil relationship from those whom in the name of people’s leadership cling by hook or crook on the throne of tyranny and those who benefits from the tyrant’s pre-scholish leadership by which patronage is obtained. I hold this truth to be self-evident. It’s a greatest danger of autocracy. Here too, naught all is boorish, in rare and exceptional cases autocracy though not easily accepted by the indoctrinated masses it has its glories and splendors although without perfection. Although Rwanda’s autocracy was founded on rivers of blood and museums of skulls it has been blessed with a greatest leader it ever had—Paul Kagame. Many will not agree with me because they are trapped in Rwanda’s past and not in its future. Let’s leave them there. China today enjoys the brightest of Sunshine. It is building the next powerful imperial power. Although this is not happening without few setbacks, the nation and the people of China are gaining the admiration and respect of the world. It’s a fact. And that it is done under the most blatant autocracy in modern times. Well, the gospel that I preach is that a system of political governance matters naught. The prime blessing or evil lies in leadership. If we do not fight to get that right, we will never emerge from this continental darkness.
