look I don't want to go into a tangent proving America is a plutocracy, it is but that would be a waste of time

super pacs prove it outright imo

but there's other points to that

yeah american divisions of foreign companies can contribute to pacs

Anyways, your argument that human nature cannot handle power intrinsically that undermines your position.

Even if the US was not a plutocracy (which it is) it would still in your mind deteriorate into one

because of the corruption you stated that people have when dealing with power

so your presupposition leads to negating your view that capitalist democracy is a good system

no, because the entire system is designed around that belief

(going to refer to it as cap dem rep for short now)

the whole system of government is designed to check ambition with ambition and check power with power

yes, and my point is, because you diversify your tyrants into 2000, by your own logic now you have 2000 psychopaths to contend with

as opposed to 1 in an authoritarian system

their power is limited to prevent them from becoming tyrants

and it's not just 1 guy in an authoritarian system

their power is not limited, because capitalist societies have all degraded into plutocracies

I had to finish a paper, why are the rest of you faggots up so late

you kill hitler and donitz takes over

their power is only limited by their amount of money

authoritarian leaders still have officials under them

@NormieCamo was supposed to go to sleep at 12:30 but schooling niggas in the aspect of authoritarianism n shiet

boyz in the hood reference

in case zoomer brains explode

you're going to hate this but if you look at people like Ocasio Cortez and Bernie and Trump you can see that it's not all just rich plutocrats controlling politics and preventing the people from having representative leaders

LUL

Ocasio Cortez if I recall recently backed down on going after taxes as hard when she started getting mainstream reception in dem party

imagine my shock

also, exceptions to the rule don't disprove it

no she's still pushing taxes I'm pretty sure

as for Trump he's just an opportunist

and Bernie Sanders is a crypto communist

if you can find a legitimate election that happened in the soviet union does that make it a democracy?

btw I don't buy the argument that all humans are these corrupt shitty beings who can never handle power

I think exceptional and saintly leaders can and have existed

I'd love to see if you can find a legitimate election that happened in the soviet union
