What about Prussia then
because power is so centralized in individuals
prussia is essentially a monarch that is balanced by the Junker
monarchy can result in long term succession crises
like War of the Roses
Year of the 5 emperors
etc etc
power=violence
military strength=violence
if you make the military the state, the state cannot overthrow itself
Do you know how many republics had succession crises?
make the military the state
I come from South Korea which had multiple dictatorships
gate voting behind a volunteer military force
that includes religion
Why do you keep insisting on keeping elections and voting
Clearly it's failing rn
so to vote, you have to be a devout member of Christianity as vetted by the local parish, and also volunteer to fight for x amount of period of time
because voting is merely handed out by the accident of birth
universal suffrage is big gay
democracy is big gay
voting =/ democracy
Elections have only ever put hedonists and atheists in power. Nothing good has ever or will ever come from them.
you're missing the point
if you ensure your voters are of a certain type 1) warrior, 2)pious, then it (in theory) should be smooth sailing
How about no democracy and the monarch and church rule the land
it never works because there's always power struggles between the two entities
you just get a new monarch or dynasty after x amount of years
So?
there's inherent instability in the system
You get new political parties taking control of republic after x amount of years
I want to create the ultimate leviathan
You seriously think this is stable?
where the state can never be overthrown
what is "this"?
if you can point me to a limited suffrage state
Mate
have you read heinlein?
I'm trying to say a system other than monarchy isn't inherently more stable
I seriously buy into his ideology
hasn't been tried before
has enough merit to be tried
Why can't we just not have elections
