ndogg's Journal: Premises for my new democracy

My ideas for a new form of democracy relies on a few premises:

• The masses cannot be trusted to protect the minority, and so thus cannot be trusted to be without government.
• The government cannot be trusted to govern fairly and justly (part of governing justly requires swift action.)
• Firms in oligopolies and monopolies cannot be trusted to not abuse their economic power.

So how does one resolve this issue? I'll have to answer that in another journal.
