Where would you go to cite where you're getting your information from?
and don't give me that bullshit about "landed white men"
they set about expanding the franchise almost immediately after the establishment of the Freemasonic Republic
Which would you like me to cite? Everything I have said so far has been a basic fact.
Cite these basic facts.
What are your sources for information?
do you need me to write out the definition of "representative democracy" for you?
Where are you getting this from exactly?
Getting what? You need to tell me what you're not understanding.
Do you not think the Founding Fathers believed in democracy?
I do not actually.
That they didn't believe in freedom, "natural rights", and the rest of the Lockean drivel?
America wasn't originally intended to be a democracy.
yeah it was, a representative democracy
which is what most republics are
I think you're getting things confused.
What are your sources for information?
you're trying to split a hair that doesn't actually fucking exist
MY SOURCES FOR GODDAM WHAT
I think you're growing a hair in a place that doesn't exist.
THAT A FORM OF GOVERNMENT IN WHICH PEOPLE ELECT REPRESENTATIVES IS A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY?
Do you need me to cite THAT for you?
I'm getting my information from a basic goddam knowledge of political terms
According to Socrates a democracy only works in a homogenous society.
Merriam-Webster defines a Republic as "a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law"
*id est*, a representative democracy
So you're saying nobody ever voted in natsoc Germany?
Was not the fuhrer the representative of the people?
yes, but he wasn't elected
Are you certain he wasn't originally elected into power?
positive
he was appointed
he was appointed to the office of the Chancellor, and then exploited loopholes in the constitution to make himself a dictator
after the Reichstag fire
You sure he wasn't elected 6 times?
not to the office of the Chancellor
since that's not an elected position
it was appointed
Might wanna have a look at this some time http://diebesteallerzeiten.de/blog/2009/02/19/was-hitler-democratically-elected/
the NSDAP received a plurality of votes, but Adolf Hitler was not elected to the office of the Chancellor
since, again, that was an appointed position, not an elected one
