The Failure Of Multipartyism In Ghana

Ghana's democracy is a joke, a huge farce. And the politicians, who have sworn allegiance to this ideology know it themselves. Also, they know for a fact that our multipartyism isn't the answer to our socio-economic woes. It has never been and never would be, period. If anything, the political concept of multipartyism is to promote corporate capitalism. Irrefutably, corporate capitalism has got nothing to do whatsoever with human exploration. Its main intent is to champion human exploitation. In essence, there is no capitalism, or indeed a capitalist state where a majority of its citizens aren't working as slaves. Better yet, where the majority of the people aren't working for the interests of a few. Even America, the mother of our modern day democracy capitalized on her slaves to be wealthy. Wall street would have never been possible, had there been no slaves in America. In short; the entire capitalist Western world was built on the backs of slaves. Human exploitation coupled to human misery.

Now, how civilized is the Western civilization in terms of its penchant for human exploitation? And I do mean by human exploitation as a result of practicing capitalism, capitalism as a result of practicing democracy. What we need to understand is that there is no wrong, or right way to making money when it comes to practicing capitalism. Indeed, all moral orders get suspended when it comes to it. Simply because; capitalism is the survival of the fittest. It knows no law or order. Also, democracy means that one should have the liberty to apply all means necessary, either ethical or unethical to amass wealth. Even if it means being corrupt, or indeed practicing similar acts of it. Mind you, the survival of the fittest also means the survival of the individual only. Meaning, there is absolutely no room for anybody to think about anybody. The interest of the individual is more important than the collective interest/s of the whole. It's each one for him/herself, and God for us all. Selfishness in all its grandeur.

Unarguably, if human exploitation is in synch with capitalism, and capitalism equals to democracy-then it means that multipartyism, which is in synch with democracy must be very wicked indeed. For the mere reason that democracy is in synch with human exploitation. And what's so noble and just about the exploitation of human beings by other human beings for corporate gain and interest? Furthermore, why should a people who share one country and a common destiny affiliate themselves to the concept of multipartyism, which is nothing more than division in and of itself? We should be mindful that multipartyism endorses unnecessary competition amongst our political parties. This, of course, does our country absolutely no good whatsoever. Multipartyism doesn't promote unity. Undoubtedly, what doesn't unite has the potential to unleash chaos and disorder. Ghana is one, her people are one and a one party system should be in order by all means necessary.

Multipartyism makes it impossible for our various political parties to work together as one. As a result of this, the nation lacks diverse creative political solutions needed to tackle her numerous socio-economic woes. For example; one political party might have a very clever financial solution to something, whilst the other might have a brilliant solution to some other thing. However, without the cooperation of both political parties results would be less to none. Unfortunately enough in Ghana, multipartyism has given way to tribal politics. Of course, this type of politics could never yield any meaningful progress for our dear country. It could only mean its demise. Therefore, let's abandon the ideology of multipartyism-together with democracy for the Europeans who invented it. Simply because; the Europeans don't have any tribalism to worry about, but we do. In short, multipartyism in correlation with tribalism could lead to no good. Hence, the need for us to come up with our own unique system of government, which would demonstrate to the world that we are indeed capable. It's not too late, and we are brilliant enough to do this.
