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
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
Lol
I’m perplexed by that and your profile roles
But you do you I guess
Why?
Eugenics was mostly a National Socialist thing
Ah
Well,fascism and nazism sorta blend together in my experience
