Abstract

We are constantly starting new wars in our search for peace. In a battle, we hope for peace that will allow us to prepare for the final war. We produce more and more weapons. There are already so many arms that they cannot be fathomed by human thought. Due to declaring the war on terrorism, with any deviation from Big Brother’s opinion considered as terrorism, the war has become a means for bringing opinions into uniformity. Since the whole peoples have to follow this opinion, it has been dubbed democracy. The war on terror has become the war for political conformism that bears the name of democracy. But unlike Athenian democracy, in which women and slaves could not participate, nearly no one participates in it today. Democracy is a logo on bombers, drones, corporate platforms and bottles of diluted sugar sold all over the planet.
