Predatory democracy: Family, bureaucrats and gangsters
Article Abstract:
Multi-system democracy may survive and grow stronger, incorporating the gangster structures but keeping a proper balance between the predators and their prey, maybe even developing less corrupt forms of democracy or reintroducing aspects of the family system's humanism. This requires an active struggle to support both the family system and the bureaucratic system at their best and most societally rational but one may have to open enough to admit the aspects of the gangster system.
