Utopia or the dream of classless and stateless society has dominated human imagination for ages. Despite these high sounding ideals, the Marxist system has failed completely all over the world. The democratic system appears to be getting wider acceptance among people all over the world. A socio-political system must incorporate human feelings, values, attitudes, purposes and goals of various groups participating in the system. Democratic systems however can also lead to the real possibility of the tyranny of the mediocre majority because of emphasis on election rather than selection.
Democracy weighs the opinions of two morons more than that of one genius.
The American system is flexible and open and accepts that material gains is the sole guiding force behind most individual actions. Indian thinkers considered spiritual salvation as an individual effort. The concept of an organized church is alien to the Indian ethos. The Hindu system left the individual free to speculate about the ultimate truth. This freedom left a rich harvest of varied speculative tought.
