About This Quote
In the book “People Power” by Michael Slote, the author argues that the idea of a perfect democracy is a myth. He states that in a democracy, people have to work together and be honest, but in practice, they do not always follow the democratic rules. The phrase “people power” is a metaphor for democracy and how it works in reality, not as a fairy tale.
