What is Real Democracy?
A system (with the previously defined characteristics) is the basis, while devising different strategies is the responsibility of the leadership. So, the selection of commanding authority is a matter of competence and sincerity rather than changing the basis for personal interests (the process that is dominant in a non-ideal society and which is the driving cause of power struggle in the society). This means that democracy is not the direct selection of the leadership at higher levels by the people at the lower stratification levels of the society, nor the selection of representatives from land-area-based constituencies. To gain a deep knowledge of real democracy, let us consider a model called “Indirect Competence-based Selection” (ICS).
