How does a representative democracy differ from an oligarchy?

Answer

instead of the majority enslaving the minority by brute force (democracy), all are enslaved by an oligarchy. Poetic justice?

Explanation:

In a representative democracy people hope the winner will represent them. But how, what is the unspoken method, the political system that will be used? It’s not a system that is based on rights or reason. It employs the initiation of violence, threats, fraud. Rights are sacrificed to the will of the majority, i.e., the “common good” or so we are told. If that were true, it would be enough to reject democracy as mob rule but it isn’t true. However, it’s just as bad because the politics of violence is still the paradigm. It serves those in power, not the people who put them there, i.e., the frauds and front people for “the powers that be” (TPTB). When individual rights are not the primary goal, the basis, the axiom of government, no one is safe, no “common good” is possible. This was the new political paradigm that Jefferson used to justify the Declaration of Independence. It convinced the Founding Fathers to risk “our lives, our property” and fight against the most powerful empire in the world. They gave us a new political paradigm and it was not threatened by The Articles of Confederation, which had 14 American presidents. Then came the counter-American bloodless political coup, the Constitution. It replaced America with the U.S.A., a strong centralized government. The sovereign states versus the sovereign federal gov was a conflict that Lincoln settled and explained in the “Gettysburg Address”. He valued “The Union” over its parts. Of course, this is not how historians justify the death of a million Americans.
