I'm kind of in favor of having to work for the rights of a citizen through civil service, not simply being born with them
Even though that is corruptible
Monarchy literally eminates tradition throughout the country
It is a beacon for family values and traditions
Unless its the English Crown
Yes it can be corrupt, but corrupt monarchies never live long
I like the idea of one not being a citizen until they do a sweden-style 1 year service
at age 18 for natural-born citizens
I like the idea that nobody is a citizen unless you go through military service
Kind of like how it is in the book "Starship Troopers"
because then being a citizen actually matters
yeah like that, even though it's a satire
The book isn't satire
The movie is
Read the book
yeah except Starship Troopers was a satire of it
^
No it wasn;t you cocks
i thought they were both critiques, just on different things
Robert Heinlein believed in those values
the movie was a satire
ahh i see
the movie is still damn good imo, when you're aware of the critique it's hilarious in a weird way
It's kinda like a Space Age Sparta
or the Germanic Legions the Romans used
whatever their fucking name was
Only citizens can vote, and since all citizens went through military service, the government is always hardline fascism/conservatism
still technically democracy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
just like the DPRK
lol
what could go wrong
It's not really a democracy
that's p much why democracy isnt inherently virtuous
More, semi-democracy
North Korea has elections
but Kim is the only candidate
Because whoever the leader they vote in always has absolute power
Kim always gets 100% of the vote
isnt that still democracy by definition
He is so popular
