[pp.int.general] Freedom not Fear 2013 - September 7

[Zbigniew Łukasiak]

People in any collective action problem face the dilemma - should I do
the right thing and take the risk - or should I just ignore it. To
resolve it people use many heuristic rules - but one of them is that
'if others do the right thing then I'll do it as well' - this is
especially important in every political situation - where being the
singled out opposition can not only mean wasting your time but can
also mean a much larger risk.  Demonstrations are a way for people to
communicate - "we are with you - and this is not just empty words - we
are here in person, we take the physical risk to be attacked just like
you (even if only in a symbolic sense) etc".

Demonstrations are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory#Honest_signals

By staying inside the State, the citizens give their imprinting to politics. The same rulers, by having around citizens (careful for common good and not for their career), follow a fair policy.

In practice the democratic principle of the periodical restitution of public powers to people still works only inside the Government ambit. On the contrary, for decennial of ABUSE of POWER made by public careerists, the largest part of the State (the public employment) is still in the hands of a tyrannical minority.
