Democracy and Freedom; An Analysis

Stages to Freedom
Caveman/Ramblings from the Rock Original Article

While not a historian, it is my sincere belief (backed by historical accounts) that there exists a general misunderstanding of how freedom is obtained in a society. Many people wrongly infer that stability is needed first for the democratic process to move forward and self-government is the end product of a democracy. Freedom is something that develops once all three of the above conditions exist. While it is true that freedom spawns once all conditions are first met, the order of establishing the first three conditions seems to be misunderstood.
