If the personality fails, the system fails

Yeah, monarchy involves way less bloodshed, and instability

Look, I would prefer to live in a monarchy myself, I would be Bismarck if I had the chance

yeah bye im way to not sober for this

But democracies do have inherent advantages over autocracies

none

literally none

Are you saying it just to say it or do you have an actual rebuke of any point I have to say?

Because I want to believe you but I have no reason to

I'm an anarchist, but monarchies are infinitely superior to democracy

Good luck voting people out lol

How so, halfthink?

Why are monarchies superior?

Good luck kicking people out when they single handedly control the military

If I must be a slave, I would rather be privately owned than publicly owned

Easier still

How

So

I

Want

To

Believe

You

But

I

Need

A

REASON

explain the point

For democracy you have to change the ideological bedrock

I’m on your fucking side, I just want to make sure you people can raise actual points when you’re in a serious discussion

@halfthink You know any philosophers that argued for democracy?

If I tried to defend monarchy, I would say that it is a better representation of societal structures and can provide superior mechanisms for selecting a superior leader.

Hobbes

The ur-social unit is the family, with the father at the helm, making decisions for the unit and directing it.

Thomas Hobbes was very much in favor of autocratic governments

As social units grow in size, there still must remain a singular unit at the head, directing it.

This force leads the individuals which comprises the unit, but does not draw authority from it, anymore than a father draws authority from his children.

Rousseau, I think, was a fan of democracy.
