America is NOT a "Democracy" - How Aristotle's work helped shape the U.S. Constitution

People often use the word "democracy" in political discussion, and it's usually used with a positive connotation, but what might be surprising to learn is that one of the greatest thinkers to ever live was extremely critical of democracy - or rule of the many. In the time of ancient Greece, a philosopher named Aristotle (student of Plato who was the student of the great Socrates) studied 158 Greek city states in which he devised a chart that maps out 3 types of rule in their "good" and "bad" form.

Centuries later when a new Republic was being born, British colonists, tired of British tyranny in America, declared Independence to form a new nation, and their primary inspiration for forming the existing structure of government came from the writings of Aristotle and his mentors before him. Critically though, the founding fathers of the United States of America thought long and hard on the issue of each "good" and "bad" form of rule. With those 3 forms evolved the concepts of the 3 branches of government the U.S. has today. Each branch serves as checks and balances to prevent any one form of rule to take it's perverted form.

This video will cover exactly the philosophy behind the Presidency, the legislative body, and the judicial courts - three sentries standing guard at all times to protect the Republic from a single tyrant, an oligarchical tyranny, or the most insidious of them all, a pure democracy and what Aristotle called a "tyranny of the majority".

Understanding this concept is fundamental to understanding politics today, and how politicians and those who seek to usurp power alter language, charge the definitions and the meanings of certain words to manipulate the public into accepting an ideology that they would otherwise never accept. This explains the complete radicalization and decline of the Democrat party and how the extreme Marxist left and globalist elite have been working in tandem to destroy Western sovereign nations, but the grand prize is the United States.

The great American Republic is under attack, and in the age of information warfare, we need to be armed with the truth and aggressively defend it against those who use lies and deception.
