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?
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
but I think his focus on service and duty is not enough
The masses don't deserve power
and I'm not giving the masses power
in such a satet
If you guarantee right to vote to anyone who serves and is Christian you are offering a chance to become part of the ruling class
the electorate would probably be like .04% of the population
It's not as restrictive as an aristocracy
Also
if the guy thinks he wants to give 8 years of his life to the State and God and die in some godforsaken ditch
i think he's good enough to vote tbh
shows he has the right priorities
