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

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

Not always

But a good portion

There's like

At least a dozen ideologies that could be considered fascist

Fascism is more of an umbrella term like Communism

Fair point

Never good to get ideologies confused I suppose

Tired of being associated with those bloody Stalinists

Lol

*young Stalin was sexy though...*

A lot of national socialists I can't take seriously

Because National Socialism is meant for German/Nordic people
