The Leader’s Sayings about the Democratic Nation

* As for the model of the democratic nation, it is the model that can be derived from the cultural nation, which curbs and refutes oppression and exploitation. A democratic nation is the nation closest to freedom and equality. Based on this definition, it constitutes the nation’s ideal concept of societies aiming for freedom and equality.

* This is because a democratic nation is one that is not satisfied with mental and cultural partnership only, but also unites all its components under semi-independent democratic institutions and manages them.

* The alternative modernity in a democratic nation is democratic modernism. While the economy cleansed of monopoly, the ecology that indicates adaptation and harmony with nature, and technology that is friendly to nature and humans; constitute the institutional basis for democratic modernity, and thus for the democratic nation.

. * While the nation-state is guided by the stereotypical society, the democratic nation is often composed of different groupings and entities, and sees their differences as a source of richness. Life itself is already possible through difference and contrast.

. * As for the citizen or member of a democratic nation, he is different, and his differences derive from various groupings. Even the presence of clans and tribes is also a source of wealth for a democratic nation.
