thats not my point

the people should decide what the government helps them in.

majority>minority

They can't.

People are not gods.

no

but the majority should dictate.

everyone should work to benefit the community.

not themselves.

nation>individual

Wrong. All political structures create a political class and monopoly of ideas.

not always

as long as the government is for the people

by the people

it may work.

I just told you that is impossible.

how is it impossible

take the german reich for example

it was thriving

until poor military decisions destroyed it

That's authoritarian not democratic.

In practice.

yes but it is for the community

Mind you, I think authoritarian is superior to democracy.

I agree

but

the people should elect the leader

But the people themselves do not have the ability to represent themselves on any higher level. Thus the need for enlightened authority.

the people should elect the leader out of practicality

because if not

(fucked up on edit)

violence?

Well, for me there is no leader.

But in this scenario any way is necessary.

It just so happens that democracy is the path of least resistance but not necessarily so.

but think about it.

if the people elect a leader

for a generation

and after that leaders death

the people could elect a new leader based on their issues

not the previous generations issues
