From Democracy Now! in 2008:“Everybody in the World Except US Citizens Should Be Allowed to Vote and Elect the American Government” — Leading Intellectual Slavoj ŽižekOld Slavoj does have kind of a point there about American elites’ reigning philosophy of Invade the World / Invite the World.… when I was asked by a academic journal to say if I were to hold the power for one day as president, what — and I would have kind of absolute power to introduce a law, what law that would have been? My immediate answer was not as some humanist suggested, since United States at least thinks they are a global empire, so let every adult in the world be allowed to vote; my advice would be the opposite one: let’s everybody in the world, except US citizens, be allowed to vote and elect the American government.
One long run consequence of the government electing a new people will be the new people eventually electing new elites or in some other, perhaps undemocratic, fashion getting rid of the current elites.
