Why DEMOCRACY is Dying (and How It Began) - To save Democracy, Go Small

Everyone talks about “Saving Democracy,” but maybe we’ve forgotten what Democracy actually is.
It didn’t begin with elections, parliaments, or giant nation-states.
It began in small Greek city-states — tiny communities where everyone counted for something, where accountability was real, and where people could look each other in the eye.
Today, democracy feels hollow, trapped in vast centralized systems. But if democracy was born small, maybe it can only be reborn small.
In this video, I explore how democracy first emerged in Greece — and what lessons we might need to relearn if we want to renew it today.

In this Channel, I read and interpret what deserves not to be forgotten. If that resonates—join in.
Some of what I share In this channel, "Interpreting Tradition", are reflections on Literature, Politics, History, Philosophy. Sometimes I read old texts out loud, and sometimes I just speak into the camera. But behind every video is the same impulse: to preserve something. To interpret what’s been handed down — carefully, honestly, and with a sense of reverence.
