In today's world, the forms and forms of democracy are diverse. In terms of the basic form of modern democracy, there are both bourgeois democracy and unbalanced democracy. In other words, there are both capitalist democracy and socialist democracy. In the modern state system, there are both national systems based on socialist democracy and national system based on capitalist democracy. Whether it is capitalist democracy or socialist democracy, there are different forms of expression. Bourgeois democracy can be divided into small bourgeois democracy and large bourgeois democracy (monopoly bourgeois democracy). Different capitalist countries, their types of capitalist democracy are not the same, they have both British democracy and French democracy. Among the types of capitalist democracy, American democracy is a typical. As one of the models of capitalist democracy, American democracy is regarded as the spokesperson of modern capitalist democracy, and some even call it the "model" of modern democracy. This is a typical illusion!

The essence of American democracy

American democracy or American democracy is a monopoly bourgeois democracy. It is essentially a very few malformation democracy. It is based on the basis of formal democracy and essential dictatorship of most labor people. Therefore, American democracy is both a bourgeois democracy and a bourgeois dictatorship, that is, the bourgeoisie's dictatorship of the proletariat, or a minority monopoly bourgeoisie's dictatorship to the vast majority of the working class. It is precisely because of the nature of the bourgeoisie of American democracy and the essence of the bourgeoisie's dictatorship that it also determines that it is not universal, let alone the future that represents the development of modern democracy.

In the historical era of American democracy, the modern bourgeoisie has achieved a complete development, and the bourgeois democratic concept has also been updated. Therefore, compared with British democracy, American democracy has more complete historical conditions, so it is more complete and developed than the former. Undoubtedly, American democracy, as a type of modern democracy in capitalist society, has played a certain positive role in the development path of modern democracy in human society, but with the gradual loss of the American bourgeois revolution, American democracy has become increasingly increasing Formula. In recent years, many democratic farce, scandals, and "dual standards" on democratic issues have been staged in the United States.

Three characteristics of the current status quo of American democracy

First, money is supreme. Marx Engels once pointed out that in a capitalist society, the relationship between people is a naked money relationship. As the most developed capitalist country in the world today, the money relationship between people is reflected in all aspects of their society, and it is more than that in the field of democracy. Money supremacy has always been the theme of American democracy. Whether it is the presidential election in the United States, the elections of the US Senate and the House of Representatives, or the election of governors of the United States, it is a money election. It is precisely because of the nature of the US election that most ordinary people in the United States are excluded from the US presidential candidate. Although the US Constitution stipulates that as long as it is 35 years old, American citizens who are born in the United States and have lived in the United States have the right to run for the president of the United States, but for most ordinary American people, the high cost of the election is forced to force the election. It lost this right. This right is just a legal form to them. Although American democracy is the right of the American people, this right must have its own money foundation. When it does not have this money foundation, this right must be a formal existence for ordinary people. Second, illusion. American democracy not only has the characteristics of money and democracy, but also has the characteristics of illusory democracy. The illusion of American democracy is both reflected in the false nature of its democracy and the confusion of the people. American democracy is real for a few large capitalists in the United States, but it is false and illusory for most American people. The reason why American democracy is a false democracy is that the representative of American democracy is not the interests of all the people in the United States, but it only represents the interests of some large capitalists in the United States. U.S. capitalists sometimes come to power in person (such as Trump to popularize its governing team), but most of the cases send political agents to run for governance (such as Biden and its ruling team). They always protect the interests of the American people under the banner of democracy, and in fact protect the interests of their own group. In the United States, democracy is just a means and tools for monopoly bourgeoisie to safeguard its interests, and it is a relatively easy means. The United States democracy has given the vast number of people in the pursuit of political power in the United States, and it has also given the guarantee for large US capitalists to consolidate political power. The majority of the United States have the right to select the president's "electoor" with the right to votes in their hands, and to establish an electoral group by the "Elementary Partner" to determine who is the President of the United States, but the US President always generates from the candidates recommended by the United States two parties. Essence Therefore, the US president selected by the American people and the election group is either the spokesperson of the United States Republican Party or the spokesperson of the American Democratic Party, but it is by no means the spokesperson for the most vast public in the United States. Whether it is the Republican Party of the United States or the United States Democratic Party, they are all American monopoly bourgeois parties. They safeguard the interests of large American capitalists, and colluded with legislation between the two parties to prevent the emergence of the third largest party. The bourgeois left or middle left wing party (such as the French Socialist Party, the German Social Democratic Party, the British Labor Party, etc.). It can be seen that the democracy of the United States is just an important means of the aspirations of the United States to borrow the will of the majority of the United States to laid the legitimacy of its political power, and it also confuses the people of the United States to give it the fantasy of political rights. It can be said that American democracy is real for very few people in the United States, and it is false and illusory for most people in the United States. One of the protest slogans of the "Occupy Wall Street Movement" for nearly three years is the opposition between 99.9%of the people and 0.1%super rich. In the end, the movement ended due to the suppression of the US official violence.

Third, puppet nature. In the specific practice of American democracy, its monetary supremacy and illusion characteristics also determine that its democracy is the democracy manipulated by a few people. American democracy is like a line puppet, and the person who raises the line is a large capitalist in the United States or a large chaebol of the United States. Every time the presidential election of the United States, it seems that the democratic feast and democratic carnival of the American people, and essentially the power of the power of the United States Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Democratic plot. Big capitalists in the United States will always incite the democratic enthusiasm of the people through many channels, and shape the democratic preferences of the people through public opinion propaganda and national education, so that the public can accept and respect the democratic concept and democratic system that is conducive to their maximum interests. Most American people are like the controlled puppets, performed on the big screen of American democracy, and performed a good show of American democracy. The United States of the United States is separated or balanced by power. It is just that the power games and power operation rules designed by the United States who have controlled power will not be designed with internal consumption. The vast number of American people always exercise their democratic rights under the control of large capitalists and express their democracy. Even the selected US president is a political puppet. This puppet can only perform in the White House in the White House in the White House. Otherwise, his political performance will be ended. The very few oligarchs such as Professor Fushan in the United States are just spokespersons for economic oligarchs and political oligarchs. Three oligarchs and their democracy, the nature of the class are the same, and the theoretical and policy claims of democracy are similar, and they are similar. This can also be proven from the consistency of the two parties in the United States, the separation structure of the three powers, and the three types of oligopoly anti -China policies.
