Democracy is the power of citizens, not the power of people

Democracy is the power of citizens, that is, the owners of private property, including slaves (ancient Greece). The current Western democracy is the power of 1 billion over the remaining 6 billion of the world's population. It is a Greek dream - every citizen should have at least five slaves. The other *cracy is the power of various parts of citizens, factions, over the rest of non-citizens and the unlucky part of citizens. The power of all citizens is exercised through the suppression machine - the police. The question of power is a question of who pays the police and who controls it. Who implements the violence and for whose money and privileges. The police, that is, the entire system of suppression in the state and society is the mechanism for exercising power. Power is the protection of property, which includes non-citizens. Unlucky factions of citizens also have property that is protected but to a lesser extent. For example, Biden shut down a Canadian pipeline as soon as he came to power.

In modern Western democracy, the people, consisting of citizens and non-citizens, differing in the presence of sufficient property, have the right to choose who represents the interests of citizens. Citizens have, have, and will have factions with different goals. The struggle between factions sometimes leads to the emergence of other forms of power - from monarchy to democracy. Non-citizens are a resource for the struggle of fractions of citizens within one country for power, but non-citizens practically cannot fight for power without external help.

In the United States, a rather large part of the Republicans, as well as migrants, have now become non-citizens. In the United States, there is a struggle, apparently, of three factions for power over the rest of the citizens and non-citizens. First of all, this struggle is expressed in a fierce battle for the police. The reduction in funding and the destruction of the Police is aimed at reformatting it for the interests of one of the factions. For example, the attorneys general of some states do not open criminal cases against special categories of the population under the articles of robbery, violence, resistance to the police during arrest ... In fact, a war is going on in the United States between fractions of citizens, that is, a civil war. Democracy has nothing to do with this war, as the result will be a new faction of citizens in power, or an old faction of citizens that will rule the United States will remain. Democracy, as a word for the power of citizens, will remain. Governance in a democracy is the preservation and enhancement of the private property of the winning faction. What else to fight for? The rest of the factions are gathering strength and waiting. It is in the interests of other countries to support the losing factions so that the struggle for power within the United States continues. In a sense, civil war in various forms is always going on in democratic countries, since the composition of private property and the personal composition of factions is dynamically changing, creating the preconditions for continuous conflict. Foreign states, represented by the fractions of citizens that govern them, are always ready to help in the struggle of others and to get their own benefit.

In Russia, people who were not a faction of Russian citizens came to power in October 1917. The factions of citizens failed to identify the winner and all lost. Various forms of property, which had to be protected by force, tried to fund non-citizens for their own purposes, but could not cope. The goal of the new government of non-citizens (they did not have sufficient private property to protect) was the power of soviets, that is, the participation of all people as citizens in owning property, financing, and managing the police as an apparatus for protecting all property. It is no coincidence that it was called the "peoples militia" since the police are a violent organ run by citizens. Societs' power in the USSR ended in 1991, when the entire people fulfilled their civil (formally, everyone owned everything and protected all property) and voted (indeed, one person - one vote) the way they voted. There was no civil war, as there were no citizens with private property to lose. In 1993, such citizens have already appeared and Russia was on the verge of a civil war for the property of new Russian citizens. Now in Russia, there is civil society - there are factions of citizens with the interests of protecting their property, part of which is located abroad, which leads to pressure from foreign states on Russia.
