but I mean far more basic stuff
In CA, they'd blow him for being a true commie.
Sometimes I think democracy is doomed to failure. Only authoritarian regimes can survive. Like Islamic theocracy. Or Chinese style totalitarianism.
you aren't even allowed to own property /real estate there without being a citizen
Every rule has a work around.
like tfm said in his trichotomy videos, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater ... don't go to the other extremes
sure, democracy is doomed to fail, with women voting
Democracy is mob rule
(and this fucking corrupt "representation" we have atm)
@conker Yes, that's true. But you'd have limited property rights living in an Islamic Europe. Non Muslims have to pay the Jizya tax to Muslims - up to 50% of their income.
And the mod is made up of idiots
yeah, right ... totally agree
that's why only net tax payers should vote
^
Constitutional republic
I don't entirely agree with that.
That's what we're supposed to be
I would prefer a constitutional stratocracy.
loool
I wouldn't go that far ...
he mades good arguments in general
What's a statocracy?
Military rule.
@Xychotic that would be still sort of a right extreme / fashist state
if I understand wikipedia correctly
Yeah hell no
And, yes, service guarantees citizenship.
ya know ... there was this dictator in chile, pinochet
And, no, stratocracy and fascism are not the same.
that worked remarkably well
That's a horrible idea
even 44% of the people back then voted for him to stay for 8 further years
One bad leader and it's a fascist dictatorship
right
exactly that
And the only way to prevent that would to be having the whole military know what's going on and be individual thinkers
How many governments are one bad leader away from a total shitshow?
Pretty much all of them.
And that's the exact opposite of what a military is
