Your problem with democracy seems to be the the human factor, if that's the problem you have with it, doesn't matter which system you pick, it will always be flawed for the same reason.
@Deleted User yes
Yes but it seems those problems inherent in every system are always magnified by democracy
Also I think going on VC is better
I think Bruce Bueno de Mesquita's description of how the rules of ruling work, is a fair assessment on how leaders make decision to dedicate resources. The smaller the pool of supporters, the less incentive there is to benefit the general population. Even populist leaders eventually have to face the reality that their bad policies will fail, and they'll get replaced. That's how it worked in favor of Trump.
@Deleted User
Yeah, because we have more "access" to the system, on an authoritarian system the same problems would exist, but would be hidden from the society
Why doesn't the music bot work?
Again, if the problem ls the human factor, every system will be flawed

```
Power doesn’t corrupt. Rather, power inevitably attracts the corrupted.```

@flyingfoxel, the *"do you support freedom of association and an alt-right private community?"* one?
If you instate a benevolent dictator, you risk having him replaced by an evil dictator, and there's no fixing after that.

na i think i may have tied a question to you, you didn't ask
👍
@DanielKO who said that it's fucking gold
That's a commentary about Mesquita's book, "The Dictator's Handbook."
It makes the argument that leaders act the way they do, because the system in place pushes them to act in a certain way, otherwise they get "replaced."
It's a really good book, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dictator%27s_Handbook
There's another book by the same name, different author, that's more of a satire.
