ஒரு நாட்டின் அரசாங்கம் உறுதியாக இருப்பதற்கு சனநாயக அரசியல் முறைமை அவசியம், அதற்கு சனநாயகத்திற்கான கல்வி ( "Education for democracy" ) எல்லாப் பாடசாலைகளிலும் கற்பிக்கப்படல் வேண்டும்.

Modern life means democracy, democracy means freeing
intelligence for independent effectiveness-the emancipation of mind as an
individual organ to do its own work. We naturally associate democracy, to be
sure, with freedom of action, but freedom of action without freed capacity of
thought behind it is only chaos. (John Dewey, 1903)
You can't have meaningful political democracy without
functioning economic democracy. Noam Chomsky
