Democracy in America actually does have consistent meaning. It’s just that it isn’t what people think it is. When america says ‘democracy’ what they mean is liberalisation of trade and markets for American capital interests. Often with disastrous effects for the local population and their economy. The word freedom also has a similar meaning. The word freedoms is more accurately considered a contraction of the phrase ‘freedom for american capital flows’.
Looking at the Official Report On the Iraq War published in the UK some years ago, American “bringing of democracy” there was quite literally the war crime of Pillage.
Basically the local administration installed by the Cohalition in Iraq was forced to give almost all oil exploitation contracts to British and American companies, mainly the latter.
Who knows just how rigged the voting system is over there to produce an image of “Democracy” whilst making sure real power always goes to those who favour American interests or are easy to corrupt to do so.
