das right

2018-03-21 18:15:32 UTC  

@Deleted User Would they even be a republic if there isn't suffrage though? How can government be a public matter if there is no voting?

2018-03-21 18:45:28 UTC  

There are degrees of publicness and differences in how legitimacy is drawn

2018-03-21 18:45:53 UTC  

But you're right in that it's very hard to have a republic without a mechanism for public feedback

2018-03-21 18:46:13 UTC  

The examples I mentioned weren't monarchies

2018-03-21 18:46:28 UTC  

and relied on an elected legislature while not having an elected executive

2018-03-21 20:59:20 UTC  

I'll look into that. tbh I've never heard of something like that

2018-03-21 20:59:27 UTC  

my brainlet status is showing

2018-03-22 00:27:41 UTC  

well those republics were never intended to have an unelected executive

2018-03-22 00:28:04 UTC  

in fact the directory didn't even have a single chief executive, it had a board of executives

2018-03-22 00:28:46 UTC  

it's just that in the case of the English Protectorate, Cromwell and the New Model Army got tired of the Rump Parliament for taking too long to forge a constitution so he dismissed them

2018-03-22 00:29:00 UTC  

and each new attempt to convene parliament during his reign as lord protector resulted in the same deadlock

2018-03-22 00:29:28 UTC  

and with the French Republic and the Directory, there were elections for the directory, but suffrage was limited, and the elections were mostly rigged

2018-03-22 00:29:42 UTC  

then of course you had Napoleon as consul while France was still nominally a Republic

2018-03-22 00:30:08 UTC  

and finally here's an interesting plan: Bolivar wanted Gran Colombia to have presidents-for-life

2018-03-22 00:30:18 UTC  

with an elected legislature and a one-time election for each president

2018-03-22 22:49:07 UTC

nice

2018-03-25 12:29:33 UTC  

North AMericans are Europeans

2018-03-25 12:29:37 UTC  

at least the good ones are anyway

2018-03-28 00:04:15 UTC  

Daily reminder that Alexander Hamilton out-kiked the kikes by using the First National Banks to transform crippling foreign debt into an engine for economic growth

2018-03-28 00:04:18 UTC  

He's a national hero

2018-03-28 01:53:18 UTC  

Hamilton is a hero but Biddle was a tool

2018-03-28 01:53:43 UTC  

I stand by Jackson's killing of the 2nd national bank and appropriating the funds to regional banks

2018-03-28 02:20:19 UTC  

^

2018-03-28 02:20:37 UTC  

one of the best presidents, maybe THEE best

2018-03-28 02:39:31 UTC  

I don't know enough about Nicholas Biddle to have an opinion on him

2018-03-28 02:39:53 UTC  

In fact literature about the Second National Bank and its functions are hard to come by

2018-03-28 02:40:39 UTC  

Also almost immediately after Jackson destroyed the national bank, all of the regional banks engaged in currency speculation that ultimately led to a massive financial crisis

2018-03-28 02:41:03 UTC  

that Jackson's successor Van Buren had to take the blame for

2018-03-28 02:41:13 UTC  

Kind of a dick move tbh

2018-03-28 03:03:28 UTC  

owned

2018-03-28 03:27:53 UTC  

Chad Jackson, takes credit and leaves the blame for his successor

2018-03-28 16:02:40 UTC  

Van Buren is quite literally the purest historical form of a Cuck in American history

2018-03-28 16:02:55 UTC  

he was the Robin to Jackson's Batman

2018-03-28 19:56:03 UTC  

Van Buren is OK

2018-03-28 21:58:36 UTC  

>all these historically illiterate cucks passing by Polk like he's some cheap whore on the corner

2018-03-28 21:58:51 UTC  

Very sad
