In my opinion, democracy is a crappy kind of regime. Too many people in the parliament have to agree to something before anything happens, the people are prone to voting stupid governments and few things actually happen and everything takes ages. Also it supports freedom, which is stupid. If humans have freedom, they make something stupid. Or capitalism. (Though I do support freedom of speech.)
However having only one person with the whole control is bad too - as soon as one wields absolute power, they'll go crazy and do stupid things (because they're free to do so. SEE?). Maybe the best kind of government would be an altered kind of monarchy - where the monarch does wield most powers, but a parliament has some veto right to stop him from going bat**** insane. Communism as an alternative wouldn't be good either - if you look at what Marx' wrote when he invented it, the conditions are completely outdated and out of existence today, and his goal of a state without a set government where the people rule is utterly stupid. The kind of communism Stalin did (state owns everything) had its advantages though. Too bad Stalin also was crazy. :( Can there even be a really good kind of government? In any case, capitalism is bad and must be fought imo. Though that's a different topic. |

You do realize that the US tried capitalism and then decided to go with almost-capitalism, right?
With pure capitalism, the gap between the rich and the poor increases quickly, due to the fact that for someone to benefit from capitalism, they typically need capital. This post has been edited by Raij|Away: Dec 12 2007, 12:46 PM |
