I believe that promoting decentralized democracies is the most important and urgent world wide promotion any civilized government, organization or foundation can carry out. It is obvious that with such system of government citizens con achieve the best possible well-being and prosperity. Unfortunately the leaders of the United States have not learned how to promote democracy effectively. They have not realized that people need to know what decentralization is and why it works so well. Here I offer a clear, simple description about it, easy to understand by most.
DECENTRALIZATION – TRUE REVOLUTION – MAXIMUM WELL-BEING
There is no doubt that the most successful revolution has been that of the United States of America in 1776. This modern revolution that preceded the French Revolution has offered the greatest social and economic well-being to the largest number of individuals because its leaders created a Constitution that established a decentralized political and economic structure. In other words, the central government kept the basic functions, and it gave the states most of the political and economic activities, thus granting all citizens sufficient freedom and responsibility to organize their own governmental and economic systems, and so creating the first socialist form of government chosen by the people for the benefit of the people.
The result of these excellent laws was an initial social well-being which stimulated creativity and work, and led to economic prosperity. At the same time such laws decentralized and controlled central power by establishing a separation and balance of executive, legislative, and judicial powers, thus contributing to the increment of general welfare and motivation. These are logical results because when citizens are able to act upon the decisions that rule their political and economic lives, andare protected by a good legal system, they feel secure and thus motivated to create and work to improve their livelihood and their community.
Indeed, the greatest source of wealth in a country is the creativity and labor of its inhabitants motivated by the best form of government. A political regime which promotes dignity, self respect and respect for others and the environment. A form of government in which we all have a voice, a vote and a say in local and national decisions. And economies based on the creativity and labor of the inhabitants of each state who are indeed the most interested in the welfare of their region.
It suffices to observe the world to see that the countries that have established decentralized regimes have achieved more prosperity and culture. In the midst of human imperfection the creation of this system of government has been the greatest accomplishment because it has offered well-being and prosperity to the vast majority of citizens. A system of government that has evolved from human endeavors and not from ideologies.
The best that a population can do is to create for themselves the fairest and most straightforward Constitution and allow individuals to do the rest. For in evolving with freedom we all can achieve, each one according to their natural abilities, the maximum well-being. This has been the great success of the United States and other countries with similar political structures. Without democracy and decentralization it is very difficult to create prosperity or socialism.

These political, social and economic facts are so evident that those people who fail to understand or accept them are indeed out of touch with reality and confused due to either psychological afflictions or cultural pressures, or both. I say this becausereligious, political and economic theories, while teaching realistic and positive concepts, teach unreal and negative concepts as well. As a result a vast amount of humanity is partly confused, out of touch with reality and creating disharmony. Imaginary and negative concepts that promote aggression, intolerance, limitations and prejudices, and make it difficult to create beneficial forms of government. We must understand that there are concepts created by clear sound minds in touch with reality and concepts created by confused minds out of touch with reality.
Those who forcefully want to impose their ideas wanting to equalize us all, are mentally unbalanced, out of touch with reality, thus fighting the reality of human nature, and creating misery. These individuals imbued in their instability and ignorance do not understand the human condition and its natural evolution. They do not understand that nature itself produces individuals that are more capable and intelligent who accomplish more than others and who usually create sources of employment and prosperity.
Centuries of evolution have proved, absolutely, that centralized regimes cause malaise and misery because they limit and fight human nature, and because they condone abuse, corruption, bureaucracy, injustice, and many other evils.
