Kind of like how it is in the book "Starship Troopers"
because then being a citizen actually matters
yeah like that, even though it's a satire
The book isn't satire
The movie is
Read the book
yeah except Starship Troopers was a satire of it
^
No it wasn;t you cocks
i thought they were both critiques, just on different things
Robert Heinlein believed in those values
The original was written by a literal fascist
the movie was a satire
ahh i see
the movie is still damn good imo, when you're aware of the critique it's hilarious in a weird way
It's kinda like a Space Age Sparta
or the Germanic Legions the Romans used
whatever their fucking name was
Only citizens can vote, and since all citizens went through military service, the government is always hardline fascism/conservatism
still technically democracy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
lol
what could go wrong
It's not really a democracy
that's p much why democracy isnt inherently virtuous
More, semi-democracy
North Korea has elections
but Kim is the only candidate
Because whoever the leader they vote in always has absolute power
Kim always gets 100% of the vote
isnt that still democracy by definition
He is so popular
North Korea would have worked if they weren't dumb commies
if it isnt rigged of course
No, presidents and prime ministers today do not have absolute power
North Korea wouldn't have existed without COmmies
I do like North Korea's "Juche" though
>North Korea
>Democracy
pick one, really.
yeah but couldnt you have a direct democracy with a dictator that must be voted on
Robert Heinlein was so fucking amazing
Juche is like North Korea's national spirit and tradition
