I mean you can meme it as whatever but you need to be honest with yourself about what it is
A constitutional republic. Aye
a congress comprised of land holders with a unitary executive vested with broad powers
it's corporate bicameralism
call it a republic if that's the meme that works
Whatever you want to call it
Its a representative democracy. That's what all modern democracy is
But you can’t just call it something and *poof*
The constitution is just a guideline that can be voted out
Nothing is permanent if you don’t want it to be
Democracy is a bad form of government and Founder's thought so
^
What was that quote? "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the other ones."
The United States government is made up of representatives who act in the people’s interest after being voted in
If this were a democracy
No man Democracy is definitly worse than other forms
That wouldn’t be a thing
Maybe a very restricted form a suffrage could do it but even then it allows for no long term planning
bicameralism is the best solution as proven by centuries of free market selection
Ive always been partial to either anarchocapitalism or Chinese style thin authoritarianism. One is the most free, the other is how you take over the world
Nah, it just requires white people
care to offer a historical example of that being a stable solution for white people?
There arent any. Its never been done
Kind of a weak position
I don't man I can't buy into the "any government works as long as it's just white people"
Issue number 1 tbh
Unfortunately haha wish it were true
Listen to some Molyneux presentations on it
Think of a government as an ecosystem. It's not enough for it to work at one moment. It needs to be a stable solution. Anarcho-systems are very vulnerable to infrilitration
What is there to infiltrate?
I know libertarianism is a dead meme but I really do wish we could just leave people to their own devices and trust they won't trespass against people and handle the responsibility
In practice maximum freedom as a stable system seems to reside within a powerful executive
Most crappy stuff that has happened in this country has been either passed by through Congress but was not supported by the majority of the people or was enacting by the Judicial Branch against the will of the people. I think if you limited the vote to white men, over the age of 25 and have started a families we would be fine. When this country enfranchised women and non-whites it went down the drain.
Land owners with children. Thats the only way democracy can kinda work.
Bruh, white men over 25 with land VOTED to give the vote away. Men VOTED to give the vote to women. Whites VOTED to give the vote to blacks.
We had that before though and look where we are now
It's not a stable solution
I'm ready to be conscripted into the McDonalds/Tacobell military academy tbh
Yay anarcho-capitalism!
/s
Lol thats always my favorite critique of anarcho capitalism
