The Leader’s Sayings about Self-Administration

* Self-administration is of crucial importance to any society. Just as it is impossible for a society lacking self-administration to avoid becoming a colony, its demise and disappearance are inevitable, as a result of assimilation and annihilation as a natural outcome.

*Alien administrations to the essence of society represent the most oppressive and colonial forms of authority. Accordingly, the most crucial moral, scientific, and aesthetic task for any society is to attain the power of self-administration.

* Self-administration benefits democratization, commensurate with the participation of society in administration. Democracy, in this case, can be defined as self-administration in which society participates. Given the constant concern of self-governments for society, democracy is inherently present in their very nature, as it is impossible to imagine society without its participation.

* While democracy is often conceptualized as a term associated with larger societies such as peoples and nations, self-governments refer to continuous capacities and capabilities that extend from the smallest of clan societies to the broadest of national communities.
