human society

society requires behavioural modernity

It requires culture

another thing which requires behavioural modernity, culture

i.e. our existence before that is not hugely relevant

consider raising children

it is possible to raise children in a communal fashion

some modern people think this is desirable, or even good

and that families should be dissolved

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
