<h2>Democracy and decadence</h2>


<div class=text-justify> 
<i>My watercolor represents an ancient wall that has never been knocked down.</i>

<hr>

These are strange days, and I am working more than usual, unlike millions of Italians, forced to stay home by government rules, to limit infections. You know we are a quarantined nation.

 The streets patrolled by police and city police who check if you have permission to drive.
A war area, I leave the house and quickly walk the few tens of meters that separate me from the study and I slip inside.
An area of ​​peace.
Before going to study, this morning I read some posts on Steemit and I focused on one in particular, the one written by <b>Taraz</b> an analysis of the appropriation of Steem by Sun.

![cross.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRKX2ZXLX8WSdzf2xXegXTVrcE3zrvKakxeqSRnUApWB7/cross.jpg)


The theme was that of the tyrannical management of a man on a decentralized system, in which we are part of US as a community of men. We elect our <b>witnesses</b> through a democratic voting system.

Tyrannical or oligarchic, at best, like the EU for example.

This means the inexorable depletion of a system built on the sharing of experiences and know-how translated into [Dapps](
https://www.stateofthedapps.com/)  and open-source technologies, which we can ALL use freely and for free.

Cognitions and experiences that translate into quality of life.

Here, it is the concept of democracy that Sun turns upside down in a brutal way and as I am writing <i>I have confirmed it by reading the @tarazkp article!</i> [here](https://beta.steemit.com/hive-174578/@tarazkp/welcome-back-spammers)

<h2>Destroy the good for personal purposes!</h2>

A government of all, <i>démos</i>= people <i>krátos</i> = power, the result is this word of enormous value = <i>δημοκρατία = Dimokratía.</i> 

<h2>Democracy!</h2>
The democratic blockchain, where witnesses are freely elected, it is so clear that in the history of Classical Greece for over 300 years there have been the best minds and disciplines that founded the model of western thought, and reflected in the Eastern one .

In Greece the famous architect and sculptor <b>Fidia</b> created the greatest examples of art ever achieved.
The <b>Parthenon</b> in Athens and the colossal statue of <b>Olympian Zeus</b>, now lost, considered one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
Not to mention that the Greeks invented the maximum representation for human actions and feelings: theater.
I could talk a lot about Greek art, it's my field, but I want to reflect on a very simple concept.

 For several centuries the Greeks lived a flourishing and prosperous period in democracy, and united to face the danger of a dictator, <b>Dario the Persian</b> tyrant who had <b>Xerxes</b>, the ferocious commander.
 
![mary.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXHHk9vMR6sRC479znEoxFKUsWxAC7F17xEBZHhaNqQPx/mary.jpg)
 

<b>Twelve cities, although independent of each other, which had a common cultural heritage joined together.</b>
They networked! The famous <b>League of Delos</b>, in which all the cities were connected together by a single goal.
After many wars the Persians signed peace.

![into.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWw9AEZjj1Edwd5cfY6JNavxK4WPDAN2Hvx1vvCmAYYCy/into.jpg)

<h2>UNITED WINS!</h2>

But when they started to DIVIDE each other, the fight came to an end.
The internal division interrupted the democratic political form of government, and led to the fragmentation and disintegration of cities.

Finally the Greeks had the final defeat against another undemocratic people: the Romans.
Here now imagine a decentralization that has already sown well, but is forced to undergo a foreign invasion, by a single dictator who forcefully imposes choices and representatives on it!

We also remain united against plagiarists, spammers, scammers, phishers and dishonest people.

<i>I hope I have been clear with my English</i>.</div>

<h2>Democrazia e decadenza.</h2>

Sono giorni strani, ed io sto lavorando più del solito, al contrario di milioni di italiani, costretti a stare a casa da regole governative, per limitare i contagi. Sapete che siamo una Nazione in stato di quarantena.
Le strade pattugliate da polizia e vigili urbani che controllano se hai il permesso per girare con la macchina.

L'80% delle attività commerciali e uffici sono chiuse, fatto salvo i supermercati, a orario ridotto, tabaccai e benzinai.
Un'area di guerra, Esco di casa e percorro velocemente le poche decine di metri che mi separano dallo studio e mi infilo dentro. Un'area di pace.

Prima di andare a studio, stamattina ho letto alcuni post su Steemit e mi sono soffermato su uno in particolare, quello scritto da Taraz una analisi dell'appropriazione di Steemit da parte di Sun.

Il tema era quello della gestione tirannica di un uomo su un sistema decentralizzato, nel quale facciamo parte NOI come comunità di uomini. Noi eleggiamo i nostri testimoni attraverso un sistema democratico di voto.

<b>Tirannica oppure oligarchica, nella migliore delle ipotesi, come ad esempio lo è l'UE.</b>

Questo produce l'impoverimento inesorabile di un sistema costruito sulla condivisione di esperienze e del Know-how tradotte in Dapps e tecnologie open-source, delle quali TUTTI possiamo usufruirne liberamente e gratuitamente.

Cognizioni ed esperienze che si traducono in qualità della vita.

Ecco, è il concetto di democrazia che Sun stravolge in modo brutale e mentre sto scrivendo ne ho avuto la conferma leggendo l'articolo di @tarazkp!
Annientare il bene per fini personali!

Un governo di tutti, <i>démos</i>=popolo <i>krátos</i>=potere, il risultato è questa parola di valore enorme <i>δημοκρατία=Dimokratía.</i>

<h2>Democrazia! </h2>
 
Una blockchain, dove si eleggono liberamente i propri rappresentanti, i testimoni.

Nella storia della Grecia Classica, in un sitema democratico, per oltre 300 anni si sono avute le migliori menti e discipline che hanno fondato il modello del pensiero occidentale, e di riflesso in quello orientale.

Nella Grecia il celebre architetto e scultore Fidia ha creato i massimi esempi di Arte mai raggiunti.
Il Partenone ad Atene e la colossale statua di Zeus Olimpio, ora perduta, considerata una delle sette meraviglie del mondo antico.
Senza contare che i Greci hanno inventato la massima rappresentazione per le azioni e i sentimenti umani: il teatro.
Potrei parlare molto dell'arte greca, è il mio campo, ma voglio riflettere su un concetto molto semplice.

Per diversi secoli i greci hanno vissuto  in democrazia un periodo fiorente e di benessere, e si sono UNITI per fronteggiare il pericolo di un Dittatore, Dario tiranno dei persiani che aveva Serse, il feroce comandante.
Dodici città, pur indipendenti l'una rispetto all'altra, che avevano un patrimonio culturale comune si unirono.
Fecero rete!
La famosa <b>Lega di Delo</b>, in cui tutte le città erano collegate tra loro da un unico obiettivo.
Dopo molte guerre i Persiani firmarono la pace.

UNITI HANNO VINTO!

Ma quando hanno cominciato a DIVIDERSI,litigando tra loro è arrivata la fine.
La divisione interna interruppe la forma di governo politico democratico, e portò alla frammentazione e disgregazione delle città.

Infine i greci ebbero la sconfitta finale contro un altro popolo non democratico: i romani.

Ecco ora immaginate una decentralizzazione che ha già seminato bene, ma è costretta a subire una invasione straniera, da parte di un unico dittatore che le impone con forza scelte e rappresentanti!

Restiamo uniti anche contro i plagiaristi, gli spammer, i truffatori, i phisher e i disonesti.


Armando.
