A replublix is a democracy..

Shameful

Shame!

Wait, do you live in Wales?

He wouldn't do it

He's worn a suit, you need not dream lol

See his ukip speeches, he wears a suit lol

@Ondsinet night night honey bunny

@Deleted User don't get tetchy on me

You're my boyfriend now

Yes lets

They have no self awareness

Which problem is this solving?

A corpocracy?

Doesn't sound much different to now, just with different titles.

So, a CEO is president, the Senate, board of directors?

Don't directors vote for their CEO?

How does this hyper corporation make money?

I assume taxes would be replaced with some form of profit

If all citizens are shareholders, then all businesses would be subsidiaries to the nation

Giving the government control over the economy and dictating the means of production

Well you've been explaining the political side, what about the exonomical side?

So when you buy something, you are trading your shares?

But the richer you get the more shares you have, and that can snowball until you are at the top 1%

How are the trusties chosen?

I see, so at it's foundation it's a meritocracy, with a corpocracy built on top

Problem there is meritocraciea can result in entrenchment, so how is it regulated to prevent that?

Yes

It's when those with merit stop selecting meritable people in favour of their own families

You can easily have an aristocracy of half a million people. That's out of 300 million.

I'm not familiar with that term. I'm saying that these trustees presumably select their members, so why would they not choose friends and family first?

20 trustees?

I see that, but how do you become a trustee?

Who chooses the trustees

So the 500k trustees selects the 20 directors, and the directors select the trustees?

:/ I'm not seeing this, it's very confusing. But what I can see is that it isn't representative of the population, and that leads to corruption.

Then it's an aristocracy right from the start lol

Soooo, China?

The trustees ARE the aristocracy, they are the nobility, and eventually they will become entrentched

Not immedoatwly

You're thinking starship troopers, service guarantees citizenship

In that case, there a risk of a shadow council forming.

It's so easily corrupted lol

It means a council working behind the scenes making the decisions while the government is a front

Whoever selects the trustees is in power

Whoever is selected by the trustees are suseptable to corruption

The selection of the trustees needs to be transparent

But you become a trustee, how?

Civil servants?

Then these people work for private firns?

The pilots

Ok, so select occupations grant you the chance to be a trustee

Why not?

That's just like starship troopers, it's not a bad sounding system. Where I'm puzzled is how that's compatible with a corpocracy

Why not have that system, but retain the current form of government?

But without a civil service, how does the government function? Who implements policy?

That's just anaecho capitalism

Lol, you've just relabeled the cival service as company employees

So, pure capitalism?

Bit like rapture in bioshock

I recall a debate Sargon had with someone proposing something very similar to this

Anyway, it's very late was a fun talk :)

only just noticed this https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8a104f8b5867c682d994ffa7a74093c54469c11f

its the end of the world as we know it

5 hours... In 5 hours the humiliation begins anew

is anyone going to help him?

is he generally liked in the US?

hmm, would have thought it was the other way around

oh, it was the drone strikes getting leaked that got him in trouble, and that was under obama, so, ye i can picture that

what were the emails about?

i dont want to listen to that idiot lol

ok wait, so its illegal to look at the emails, but its ok for CNN to tell you about them?

some chub is nice

whats the difference?

then, yes

you mean libertarian/

?

well you can be left liberalm or right liberal (libertarian)

is liberal about equality?

i thought it was about ^^ liberty

liberty =/= equality

nope

liberty is freedom, you can be free but unequal

libertarian used to be liberalism, until the SJWs took over some time ago and the conservative liberals needed a new name

centrist

hes an egaliratian

(spelt wrong)

egalitarian

lol, polar oposites

@garestan just take the political compass test and then pick a diagram that best fits your preference https://whsjohnnygreen.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Compass2.png

im between right-libertairan and activism (whatever that is)

corpocracies arent controlled economies

thats communism

plus, for a corpocracy, you need more than one corporation in control

cos KFC is so fucking good its disgusting

the nazi's were socialists

so ye, 1 step shy of communists, but right wing enough for people to own property

well, no society is purely one system

national socialism = socialism (providing care) for the national population (germans)

i think you mean jewish communists, their opponents in politics were often jews representing marxism
