In fact, democracy is a system, not an ideology. Democracy will face problems. There is no pillar of thought when we look at the democratic world. There is a separation of church and politics, so they put man ahead of God. It's absurd. Man is ahead and God is following behind. Can you do that? Who should be in front? It should be the constitution in the name of God, every family in the name of God, every education in the name of God; but it's not that way. Is America a democratic nation? What kind of nation is it? You are saying democracy, democracy, but there are things here that are worse than Communism! Which ones? One is racism. Communists will criticize that point.

In the UN Assembly, if you ask the American ambassador, "Does your country have religious freedom or not?" he will say, "Yes we do, of course." Then ask again, "Religious freedom even for Rev. Moon?" (laughter). Racial discrimination is worse than Communism. Next, taxation is worse than Communism. Communist nations divide the land and collect only one third. Here it is up to half, or for some people even about 80 percent. We could consider that as more restrictive individually.

Democratic nations are good about respecting law. This is clearly good. However, when changes occur worldwide, those countries will have difficulties. Is the authority of law important? Or are human rights important? Which one? Law is complicated. Is democracy "lawism" or "human rightism"? That is the question. In the world, democracy that loves only its own nation has already been tried, and is doomed. Democracy that cannot sacrifice its own nation for the sake of one world in the larger sense, with Heaven as subject, is a very sad reality.
