its a more obviously evil thing than a republic but I think there's some overlap

They are retaded, as far as I know all experiments done on the subject (in the Soviet bloc mostly) showed really shit results

not that I think a republic is evil

with raising children you have the benefit of a sensitive situation

that develops over a short period of time

I see very little simmilarities between the communal rasing of children and government structure

well I was leading to that both are deviations from a behavioural norm

which may be considered superior

per someones mores

and they may have convincing arguments for it

Your argument is detatched from the state of reality here, you're arguing purely form

really? I would think the opposite

we will default back to kings

I would tend to agree

demgaogues, dictators, strongmen

all aspects of this same impulse

but that is not, in itself, an argument for doing so

people understand it, simply

yeah, it isn't

well, it could be

have to go back to the children argument there

assume experiments were not done

isn't this a dumb idea on its face, to you?

family by committee?

It is

someone who had a different opinion could well argue

that you can't be sure etc.

sure

the big draw for me for kings etc. is what I mentioned initially about personality

you can have that aspect with like a presidential system

like in the US

a fine system

time will tell if it has any legs

but in terms of what people understand simply

the president runs things

he embodies the nation

it has an intuitive appeal

To be honest I wouldn't give it more than a few decades... I mean the US has changed systems in its past already....

do you have an objection to monarchy

besides what I've been saying etc.
