Syria used to be a good place to live in before America started instigating a war with them.

Same with Iraq

Well

To a lesser extent

Iraqi Baathism is more radical than Syrian Baathism

Aye,American imperialism is always a disaster

Yes.

Trump should be doing more about pulling America out of unnecessary wars

Unfortunately elections are nearly ineffective nowadays

It's been proven that authoritarianism, when the leader is good, is superior to democracy.

Ssnp is better than Ba’ath

🤔

Depends upon the idea of “good”

Also Ba’ath only applies to Arabs not Persians

Iran should stop interfering in Arab affairs

@Squid Pro Quo if they bring a net positive change to the nation I'd consider them good

Example: Huey Long

Dunno enough about him

But like

As a system

Putting anyone in a position of absolute power has a massive chance to backfire

Plus it takes individual liberty away from pretty much everyone

Democracy ain’t great,but it’s marginally better I think

Yes, but that's assuming any idiot can come to power. Even in Monarchism, bad leaders were infrequent relative to their nation's history.

Unless you're like

Russia

The only "good" leaders the Russian Empire had were Peter I and Alexander III

Dunno enough about it tbh

My knowledge of Russia begins with Nicholas the second

But still

Dictatorships are inherently unethical

Oh and I guess Alexander II

@Squid Pro Quo it’s not the power aspect that’s bad it’s the fact that its hereditary, all of Rome’s best leaders except for one where chosen albeit not through democratic vote

Having absolute power is usually bad yes

My general idea of a good Autocracy would be

A central leader who would server until their resignation or death, but with a senate or something to ensure Constitutional rights are protected

That sounds good functionally speaking

But again,ethically I don’t think it would stand

Not arguing from effectiveness exclusively here

I mean,eugenics is technically effective but it’s unethical as fuck

Yeah obviously
