This episode discusses, among other things, the interpretation of ambiguous terms including - democracy, whose very ambiguity enables large discrepancies in the interpretations of history – especially the (probably) most successful social revolution in the world history of the last thousand years - the Russian Revolution, compared, say, to the English Revolution of 1648 or the French Revolution of 1789. The ambiguity of democracy which is an illusion used by the reality of oligarchies - castes or cliques. These cliques of power can be viewed as a rotating cog wheel - a circular entourage that spreads in proportion to social inequalities, unequal application of laws, insecurity and the consequent need of patronage. These networks of cliques are concealed systems of power hidden behind the face of democracy.
