In some times and for some circumstances the political right tradition and strong government is better.
In others-it is the left, the equality amongst the people and inclusiveness.
Compasses have to be thought of as baselines. You get absolutely nowhere if you think of them as relativistic
There is no constant best and there is no constant worse.
Ofc not every situation needs the same response
The system is designed so that it can encompass this change no matter whether it is to the left, or to the right.
And there is a safeguard against oligarchies and monarchies in the system.
People drift along on the political compass on a monthly basis, centrists are all over the place
It's precisely in the structure of the Triumvirate-it takes 2 out of 3 to make decisions, so any coalition with in its borders is based to be unstable in the long term.
This is exactly what I'm aiming at-make system that is the ultimate level of flexibility within consistency.
It must be on the borderline of stability to be eternal.
Everything trying to stabilize itself over the long term is doomed to kill its progress.
But if you trump up progress it eventually destroys the system that started it.
So the best system is actually inherently an unstable one which is constantly on the border of its stability.
Introduce a gun in the equation. Do not ever assume people play by the rules.
R. R. Martin put it well: in a game of thrones you win or you die.
Have the skill to balance on the razor's edge and you can build the perfect society
for only its perfection is ephemeral.
If you can get me?
@Fuksias Question is:
How can we make **everyone** play the game of thrones?
Another point. An unstable government will by any means availabe seek its own stability. That will forever work against you.
This is why THE ULTIMATE PURPOSE of Absolute progressivism should be to make teh government weaker-the weaker it may be.
This is why we should take away the military and the economy out of its hands.
Leave it as pure judiciary-even take away the ability to make laws.
And make it susceptible to many elections on many levels-both controlled by trained officials and ones controlled by the general populace.
By pitting the economy and the military against the government ones get precisely this-taking away its power in order to give it to others.
The best government possible will be one of pure judiciary.
It's THE ONLY THING worth for a government to stand by.
Keep up the law of the land amongst the citizens of the land.
Best government possible!
You do realise the entire system rests on 3 people?
Three watchdogs.
Or rather a career militarist, a master of propaganda, and a corporate chill.
I wouldnt bet money on it lasting.
You dont need to follow the laws you enforce. You should, but thats besides the point.
The military commander could make it a dictatorship if he wanted to, the corporate guy could buy the military to make it a dictatorship, or corporate fascism or whatever they want...
The corporate and the propaganda man could fire the head of military until they get one that will obey them...
But here is the beauty of it-they can NOT NEGOTIATE WHO WOULD TAKE IT!
Everyone wants different kind of dictatorship and this is why they can't have it their way.
Cause the military will be starved by the corporations and the government would just jail them without the support of the business.
Idk, your job is both to find out how this could potentially fall form the inside and outside, and figure out how to counter it
Your system not mine.
But the business aren't going to pay up the military in the long term-they can't afford to be overtaken on the inside cause ultimately the government is less expense.
Who would jail the _military_????
The government.
