It is wrong for a king or a dictator, or a group of men to lord over
the rest of the population and force their will on them.  Certainly it
will eventually lead to war, and if skill and weapons are equal, a
majority will prevail.  Thus tyranny of the individual, tyranny of the
minority, is clearly akin to crime.  However, for a government to be
righteous, tyranny of a majority is wrong as well, might does not make
right, might just makes things happen.  For a government to endeavor to
be righteous, it must respect minority rights as well, and not rely on
the greater destructive power of the majority.  Assuming the support of
all people, the majority should perhaps in fact rule on bigger issues
such as how much to tax, and where to spend the tax money.  But the
minority nonetheless  retain their unalienable and equal rights, which
the government must respect in order to be righteous.

It is not enough to pay lip service to these rights, they must be
respected and protected.

These unalienable rights are all based on the unalienable right to
FREEDOM inherent in all living beings.  Among them are freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceable
assembly, and freedom to petition the government to redress grievances.
Individuals are ultimately right to exercise and enjoy their freedom to
do anything they choose so long as it does not violate someone else's
freedom.  This is an opinion, and opinions are upheld by force.  Force
does not change the minds of intelligent beings, it just makes things
happen.  Reason and philosophy change the minds of intelligent beings
and thought precedes action.  All beings have a degree of freedom, and
there is a line and sometimes the certain freedom one person is
exercising is more important than the certain freedom another person is
exercising.

It is likewise not enough to say a government is with the people if
those people do not have representation and the right to vote and
redress grievances.

The Chinese never had a democratic revolution in China

Following the ideologies of Marx and others, the early communists were
in fact responding to the same sort of minority tyrannies which had
motivated the revolutionary democratic freedom fighters of the west in
earlier ages.  Namely, the Aristocracy and the tyrannical restrictions
and excesses and the inequality in the distribution of wealth between
the Aristocracy and lower class peasants.

In addition, it was the poverty or near famine in many communist
nations which drove them to communism.

Many democracies of the west have embraced socialism, and yet remain
democratic.  Complete Socialism amounts to a tax rate of 100% (although
it is unlikely that that would work or be embraced).

The democratic revolution in China still has to occur.  Hopefully this
can be done peacefully and thus wisely and without bloodshed.

Communist nations must embrace democracy to purge themselves of the
same evils which plague Aristocracies.

Democracy is the solution to the problem of the tyranny and corruption
of the minority dictator.  Yet nonetheless, for a government to be
righteous, minority rights must be respected and protected.  Otherwise
a government is a murderer, and a majority which needlessly oppresses a
minority is as wrong as a minority which needlessly oppresses a
majority.

Right and wrong are just opinions.  Force rules the world, but opinion
rules the force.  Reason and philosophy change opinions about what is
right and wrong.  Thus, thought precedes action.

Righteousness ultimately prevails because all beings are naturally
right and all beings naturally have might.
