The first principle - a principle that is contrary to the familiar - in the rule of the third wave, it is the principle the Sultan of minorities. And concludes that the judgment subject to a majority system platform in the industrial era - is growing panic over time. And not the important thing majority, but the minority is the important thing, and the political regimes to translate this reality.
Jefferson was once again - who expressed wishes generation revolutionary - confirms that governments have driven all submitting to the decisions of the majority. "The United States and Europe at the beginning of the second wave, starting then those long march that had to transition to industrial societies mass. The concept fits the needs of the majority of such communities. existing public and our democracy but the political expression of the production, consumption and education for the public and mass media and mass society.
But we have seen that we go out today from the industrial era. And that the scattered community quickly. In such conditions, it is more and more difficult - if not impossible - to collect a majority or even a coalition government. That is why the Netherlands and Italy remained sometimes six months (of the Netherlands) or five (for Italy) without a government. And announce political science professor atWALTER Dean BURNHAM And Atrdamn Burnham from Almasachosat or less of Masochuseit Institute of Technology. "I do not see the day of a real basis for the majority on any issue."
Instead of a strong community hierarchy, allied which groups major authored the majority, we will have a society mixture of elements, where there are thousands of minorities, many of them are not in a close at the event, Fterahm pant and Atkhabton order to create structures was confident, rarely reported accustomed limits of 51% about major problems. Thus, the emergence of Third Wave civilization, weakens or reduces the legitimacy of governments.
Also, this puts into emanations search traditional Msalmatna associated relationship "base" (ie, majority rule) social justice. During or during the era of agricultural civilization (the first wave) has been the battle over the victory of majority rule and humanitarian editorial. And we can say this for the country, which goes to manufacturing, such as South Africa. It was the rule of the majority, in the era of the second wave, almost synonymous with the victory, for the poor, because they were in the majority.
But today, the country ridden Third Wave revolution, the opposite is true. So that the poor really are no longer necessarily constitute the majority. Has become quite a number of nations - just like other people, a minority among minorities.
Thus it can be said: The base of the majority is no longer a criterion for legitimacy balanced, but it is also - and in addition to that - certainly not humane or democratic in the past communities to Third Wave civilization.
It is usually Ideologicals second wave that Aosfoa collapse mass society. Instead of looking to the rich diversity that arises from it, as if it fertile ground for human progress, we see them condemn, in that it fragmentation or "Balkanization" and make it responsible for the selfish minority. But this interpretation colloquial, looks at the impact, as if he were the reason. That aggression growing minority does not arise, actually, for the growth of sudden selfish, it is a reflection of - among other things - to the requirements of self of the new method in the production, which requires their presence communities more diverse and colorful, and the greatest openness, and different, from all communities defined by the people in past.
And we can either resist this great battle diversity of stern men, save for the second wave and institutions either to acknowledge diversity, and institutional change accordingly. Can not apply the first strategy, but depending on the modalities of a collective, which is not necessarily lead to economic and cultural stagnation. The second method, they overlook the social evolution, also overlooking the democracy of the twenty-first century, based on the principle of minorities.
And hope to rebuild democracy as it should for the third wave, we have, in this case, that cervical Nloa belief frightening - being wrong - which believes that increasing diversity increases, automatically, serious conflicts within the community. In fact, the opposite belief can be reasonable and acceptable as the first. The struggle is not necessary for a just society: it is also required and Dreams in some border. If he wants a hundred people have nothing to lose to own the same thing, they Satdarbon hands. On the other hand if each and every one of them with a different purpose, it would be better for them to negotiate and establish symbiotic relationships, if we've some appropriate reforms, and found in order to ensure diversity of civilization comfortable and stable.
In our view, the absence of appropriate political institutions is the one who raises and paid by minorities, even to violence, is responsible for its intransigence and extremism. It makes majorities lose more and more.
Will not solve these problems, an increase of contradictions, not accusing selfish minorities (as if the elites and experts who serve the majority do not Tbngon quench personal interests). The solution is to create a creative and dynamic procedures, take diversity into account, and make it a project and spoke of new institutions capable of responding.
Perhaps tomorrow's historians, they find in the voting and the search for the majority, established ceremony obsolete primitive complain of a lack of communication among them. However, we can not in the dangerous world that is today's world, that we allow ourselves to authority delegated to anyone, not even to dispense influence humble which is owned by the people, in the systems that prevail where the base of the majority, can not let the minority take measures with serious consequences raises other minorities.
For this we must rethink, from beginning to end and from the bottom up, in those primitive methods belonging to the system of the second wave, which we adopt in our search for majorities do not get it.We need new approaches compatible or good compatibility with the democratic minority .. And methods designed to detect differences rather than crushed, under the heavy majorities leadership, or fake majorities based on electoral rights, and to the disputed counterfeiting problems to solve, or to narrow the rights of the elections. What is essential for us, finally, is this holistic system, in order to enhance the role of various minorities, but نحرمها right to form majorities or a majority.
There is no doubt that the election suited to know the will of the people, is an important tool for feedback, To calculate the community leaders of the second wave, if the situation became for one reason or another, is unlikely in the majority. The majority, 51% of voters expressing dissatisfaction, the elites were able to change their previous will, and modify directions or take other measures (in order to maintain their positions).
However, the barrier of 51% even in the framework of a mass society, was a ridiculous standard and quantified in the first place. Valantkhab in order to obtain a majority, something that has meaning.The search for people's opinion on the level qualitative (not quantitative) it is something else. This method tells us the number of people who wish to at a given moment to be (Q) in power, but it does not tells us the severity of desire when a governor, but, in particular, is not telling us what can stomach supporters of sacrifices for (Q ), but this is a very important thing in a society composed of inter minorities.
On the other hand, the way the majority, do not tell us anything more, when you feel a minority they threatened to this extent, or that it attaches importance to the more or less, at a certain point, so that its point of view should be reckoned with.
The weaknesses of this community in a lot of the population (or mass) (mean weaknesses at the base of the majority), they were not excite anyone or been permitted, not only because the majority of minorities did not have the necessary strategic force to overthrow the regime. However, the evolution of the situation in the community of synaptic parties, as strong as we know it today, where no one but which belongs a little or a lot to a group of minorities, make that is not true.
But feeding systems (feedback) familiar in the industrial era, too primitive, for third wave scattered community, that Sausbandna during the third wave. Thus we must use universal suffrage, and carry out sounding opinion, images, completely new.
Fortunately, the third wave technologies, opening the way for democracy suitable for the era of the third wave .. It opens in a very new context, key dossiers embarked upon our founding fathers, two centuries ago. Is allow people to new forms of democracy are not as unthinkable until this time.
