Synopsis "DeMOCKracy"
DeMOCKracyBy: Aaron LangDeMOCKracy is an exposé of American Imperialism, discussing how the United States' focus on expansionism is unsustainable and oppressive. Globalization has been a multifaceted effort that has many pros and cons...but pros and cons of this magnitude can alter reality, because the US military, trade deals, offshored labor, and monopolies affect the entire planet.In DeMOCKracy, the reader will encounter tales of espionage, corrupt deals, foreign turmoil, and illegal action on the part of the US government. The two main reasons which embroil the US in espionage, endless wars, and economic inequities are these: stopping Russia from having any more territories or influence, and attempting to have control over the world's resources.From Africa, and the Middle East, to China and Mexico, US businesses violate international standards and laws regarding human rights abuses. Around the globe, the US military is exempt from international law. In the US, seven hundred billion dollars a year are allocated to the Department of Defense, and tax cuts are given to monopolies that globalize, eliminate competition, and violate antitrust law. All of this drastically reduces potential services and jobs for the American public while simultaneously harming communities in several countries.Americans do not dictate the globalized agenda that affects them and the world; politicians and CEOs do. However, if the people are aware of the issues to discuss with their representatives-then the power of democracy can be reclaimed.About the AuthorAaron Lang is a debuting author who hails from Kentucky but sees himself as a citizen of the world.
