What's the Correlation between Real Democracy and the Distribution of Money?

Debating what constitutes ‘real’ democracy is like debating what constitutes real air or real water. Like the air that we breathe and the water that we drink what really matters is the "natural" quality of each and every one of the components of life that together equate to the quality of the nature of all life of planet earth.  

Likewise, when it comes to a system of democracy of the people, what really matters is the quality of the democracy which I would define as the degree by which it provides each member with an equal opportunity to expressly participate in determining the quality of the collective. 

Just as the quality of water is determined by its components in relation to one another, the optimal state being relationships of equality, water from an ecosystem, so too is the quality of democracy determined by its constituents in relation to one another, the optimal state being relationships of equality or democracy within an equality system. As such, the degree of democracy we achieve in designing new systems for humanity is dependent upon and defined by the degree of equality designed into and provided for in the workings of the  system, the optimal democracy being one wherein all I’s are standing in equality in relation to one another.  

Accordingly, in consideration the current world system of money, I suggest that in designing a new system of democracy, we base it on a system of quantifiable equality so that we’re all on the same page when it comes to assessing the degree of real democracy that we are currently participating in and/or striving to create. 

Real democracy is a collective expression of real equality, the ‘equality’ being each member’s equal opportunity to expressly participate in the decision making processes that determine the collective expression. Consequently, within the current world system, the degree or quality of any democracy that we participate in or care to create is equivalent to the degree at which the resources are equally distributed as represented in the distribution of money – that which govern one’s preoccupation with survival, the quantifiable factor that limits one’s ability to fully participate.  

In short, as real democracy is one and the same as real equality, each step we walk in the direction of equalizing the distribution resources – as represented in the distribution of money – will also be a ‘quantifiable’ step in the direction of attaining real democracy.
