Corporations are still around

Whats archaic about them?

Appletopia

I personally hate apple but its gotta be better than the current Sam Francisco

San*

A ceo is appointed by people who are elected by a board of directors.

Who are in turn elected by shareholders.

Ok

And

So only shareholders can vote

And once they do the ceo they choose gets to make all decisions

Only people putting money into the system can vote yes.

No because we give everyone the damn vote

Regardless of their tax status

@tomhastherage have you been reading the Neoreactionaries?

In theory yes

Sadly not in reality

I like how Bernie wants prisoners to vote.

But that doesn’t change the fact that its still a democracy and not an autocracy.

@Nucleon one could use the argument that feudalism and monarchy lasted far longer than democratic republicanism has so far and have therefore demonatrated their superiority. Saying it's a more archaic system doesn't say it's without merit.

And by extent I point to the fact that those systems eventually evolved into democracies, by force or not.

Evolved into?

Hahaha

We don’t have many monarchs today. Britain was a great example of a state that morphed into a democratic one over time.

any group of people can become a democracy by violently subjugating their opponents

technically the UK is still a constitutional monarchy

and by extension so is Canada

the UK is sad

really a shame they squandered their glorious history

I'd be willing to try a monarch with the power of recall. Basically investing more authority in the executive. I'd elect the board of directors similar to the Senate and they would serve the purpose of setting policy goals and replacing the CEO if needed.

*the monarchy would not be hereditary

obviously

yes

so in your state who elects the Board/Senate?

please dont say all "citizens"

doesnt that depend on what a citizen is?

ok whats a citizen?

who counts?

I might leave that up to the state. Each state sends a single or pair of representatives chosen by that state using whatever method they see fit.

interesting

I like the notion of allowing the smaller units to experiment and innovate while keeping the larger structure stable.
