But the amount of authoritarianism is a turn off
lol
fascism sucks
I suppose most of it yeah
The issue is
It is good for a quick fix
I like the Authoritarian side the most.
but for long term it isn't realistic
Yeah
It hasn't been tried for long enough to say that.
Ideally a fascist government would rise and dissolve it's fascist elements after whatever needed to be accomplished was accomplished
So I don't know where you're getting this from.
Any authoritarian government will destroy itself given long enough
Spain tried it for a little over 40 years
Wasn't exactly a paradise
I liked it.
Personally I prefer a balance of libertarianism and authoritarianism
The only reason I support having a state is for an army and a standard of law honestly
Enough power to where the state is strong and efficient but not to the point where the people can be easily oppressed
The problem with that is in most cases the state seeks to increase it's power
Yeah but you can reverse the damage
Its not impossible
An armed population can keep the government in check
but they don't
Not true
The army could steamroll the entire US population easily
Tell that to the Vietnamese
And the Taliban
That's if the Army sides with the government
^
@Vilhelmsson and they couldn't
Its a little over 1 million people against over 300 million people
That and it would be very hard to motivate US troops to do that
Most people would have no chance, of course.
like 60%
at least
The rest can be dealt with using artillary
They are still an obstacle
also, you might be underestimating the loyalty of soldiers
And anyone who can get their hands on alcohol, a sock, and fire can do damage.
