We are at this pivotal moment in politics. For the last 15 years, I have, more or less, run the show in coming up with new ideas to how we should change politics.

It has come to a point, where everybody is kind of doing my game.

First of all, this is not a “yes I did it!” Moment, it is; maybe, just maybe, are we able to salvage our democracies out of the impeding doom.

Plato says this quite severely and openly. After Democracy gets to its final phase of demoralization, ethical degrading, it turns from Democracy to Tyranny.

THAT is what I have, personally, fought to avoid, that is what we philosophers are supposed to do. It is not a hubris kind of machinational ego driven movement I have been a part of. On the contrary, I have payed a very heavy price for my job getting done.

I like remodeling cars you know. I like the craftsmanship that goes into taking a an old good looking car, and remodeling it to be modern and well working.

That is how I see theories of politics. You take this beautiful, well working yet old car that is rusty in some places, that needs an engine upgrade, needs some work on the fuel injection part of the engine and so. Then after making som bold moves, we get this amazing car, to run at full speed again.

You could call my work the Rubicon garage.

So really I am not a revolutionary in the sense, that I do all things new and shiny. No, I adore the system we have already, and I am trying to make it a little better. Get the creaks out of the system, mend the fenders, where they may be broken.

I truly hope, now when even the guardians of the Democracy, that may have THOUGHT that I was going to break the system, realizes, that this is not about breaking anything, or making it into something that is worse or untested. No, this is a paint and carbon fiber job. It’s a mod, not a new car.

It keeps all the virtues and good things of the old car, and tries to remake the car into something that actually work, and make it a little better.

So, that is really the aim of my work, and I hope, eventually everybody will appreciate it.

G-d bless the will to make our democracies work again.
