The government should be the people themselves, but that's another story.

lol no

lol Yes.

lol why?

lol Because a well-educated population is better than a well-educated government of a dozen of people.

lol who is gonna well-educate the population?

lol The current Government, in perfect collaboration with the people. If not the people themselves.

lol but the government is just a dozen people

lol Yes, if we assume that the Government takes care of this, and not the people themselves, then that's fine, but it'd be much better if the people educate the population.

lol so the not well-educated people are all going to well-educate themselves?

Popular sovereignty

lol So we're gonna assemble the most knowledgeable, wise and well-educated people of the country, elect a number of them (i'd say 50), and have them reform the education.

>lol

No

lol why not just have it like that? educate people but don't allow them to become the government

No lols in here

sorry

Because the Governments abuse people and become corrupt.

what in the government abuses people and becomes corrupt?

There're also more chances for a dictatorship to appear in a Representative Democratic system rather than in a direct one.

people abuse people and become corrupt. you are basically telling me you want to increase abuse and corruption

The members of the Government often abuse their powers, take important decisions without approval from neither the representatives nor the people, and in many other underground ways.

What?

That's completely irrelevant and false.

you are literally advocating for increasing the government

if you think the government is abusive and corrupt, increasing it will increase abuse and corruption

basic logic my dude

More Democracy = Less Corruption.

Basic logic my dude.

how?

The less power one has, the less likely it is for them to be corrupt.

Obviously.

the less power one has, the more they want it
are you familiar with the law of diminishing returns?

That's where education comes in, and other factors that stop people from the desire of excessive power.

There should be a roof, a limit to the power one can have. When it exceeds the limit, you kill them.

how does education lead to people wanting less power?

I'm not in favor of brain washing, but haven't you heard of it?

It's a form of education.

Education plays a huge role in people's beliefs.
