Knowledge - a possession forever

Democracy between peace and freedom

Today, democracy as a political system is often called into question. By individuals, groups, parties, ruling cliques, business leaders, and those in power. It has become a testing ground for all kinds of political gamblers and fortune seekers. The fact that democracy is a community system regulated by law and legislation, based on a well-thought-out constitution, is hardly fully recognized by anyone in the present public and political life. This is why people make arrangements with authoritarian, national-egoistic forces, parties, officials, and autocrats.

Who today knows under what difficult conditions democracy was born and how it has prevailed - in the conflict between peace and freedom - since the beginning of history in Europe and the world, and ultimately what resistances, upheavals, and attacks it has endured? Does anyone even know what historical weight the term "democracy" or "democratic" carries? Historical consciousness.

This book aims to illuminate the ancient discoveries related to democracy and its values from all possible perspectives, tracing them up to the present day. Protest, uprising, toxic rhetoric, murder, war, battles on land and sea, a mentality of greed and imperialism are pieces of the puzzle that come together on the theme of the book. All of this contributes to political education. It seeks to raise awareness about the precious possession of democracy, especially in the digital world, and to help ensure that political infantilism does not exploit the form of government that is the worst except for all others.
