meritocracy? whats that supposed to be? technocracy? well it ends up being as meaningless as "rule of the people" or "dictatorship of the proletariat"
The soviets had a technocracy. Franco's dictatorship had a technocracy in its last 2 decades.
power is not a means, but always an end. At least under monarchic-era rule the power was very limited and the government didnt reach so many facets of life, Private rights were respected and preserved for the most part
Yeah...the rights of the nobility maybe. The Magna Carta was written by rich people. Poor peasants had really no property rights. Everything belonged to the king. You couldn’t even hunt on the kings land
read hoppe
under democratic rule, there has been an unprecedented growth of tax, government spending, inflation, crime rates, illiteracy, etc
I’m not saying democracy is good
But neither is third positionism
It’s authoritarianism under a different label
oh god, you're not one of those guys that thinks a monarchy is just a dictatorship under a different name
implying that democracy cant be as authoritarian if not more
what is it, a 4 year dictator is ok because 51% of the population voted for a limited range of possibilities on the two-party system with full power ?
merit not technical expertise. Meritocracy and technocracy are not the same. If you could somehow write a perfect, highly specific constitution and make sure the leaders were educated in it and abided by it, or find some other way to determine a leader based on their morals, etc, that's different. Sort of like how China used to be ruled by the principles of confucianism, and the civil service exam ensured all bureaucrats were loyal.
I’m a fucking anarchist. I don’t care about democracy
i dont think china is a good example considering it has always been ruled by huge authoritarian, often cruel regimes... plus people would modify and cheat the "meritocracy" so that it suits their needs, 100% guaranteed
Nooo, black man!
Am I the stupid one because I feel like I am? Just noticed the cheeky ballon belly removed the "join or die" part
NOT REAL GOMMUNISM
