I live in an Oligarchy posing as a Republic.

A democracy doesn't sound like too good of an idea either since it requires a population truly interested in politics instead of allowing biased people to do the thinking for them.

The system we have now is reasonable. It is not so much the system, than the shitheads that are in it.

My preference is wherever (proper) Christians are in power and control.

When atheists are in control you get Communism / hell.
When Muslims are in control you get Islam / Sharia / hell.
When Tribes are in control you get Famine and dystopia / hell.
When Nationalist socialists get in control you end up with Progressive dystopia / genocide / hell.
When Monarchs are in control you get good monarchs and evil monarchs / mixed bag.

There probably has never been an actual democracy ever.
idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV

Not the Neo-Cuckservatives in USA.
Not Anglicans with their paganism.

Orthodox Christians and our Roman Catholic Brothers who have kept the faith.

I think that applies to any government type. An educated/principled population wouldn't let an Oligarchy, for example, get away with fraud. The politics are so divided in the US though so I don't see that happening.

so what would you think of Christian fascists? there's been a few movements back when fascism was big, like the Romanians trying to establish a society for Christians only and create a law system based strictly on the Bible


Again, I am not so much as wanting a particular "system" over another. I think that whatever "system" is in place, if Christians are empowered, they will not be too overbearing and greedy etc....

As for actual Christofascism - that is against christianity itself, and a horrible depiction of Christ's own action here on earth.

I'd like to live in a Democracy where the majority of people are actually smart enough, or at least, informed enough to vote for the right representatives.
Which never happens

Or in a Monarchy with a decent king/queen with enough will and power to move the country forward.
"All it takes" is the right person with the right ideas.

I'm pretty sure all political systems suck, if the people running them suck. You can make pretty much anything work as long as the people are willing to support it, and the person in charge is benevolant.

Good luck finding that, these days.

I guess to answer your question, I would, as long as it benefited me, and the leadership wasn't overtly corrupt.

"According to this theory, it is only under socialist conditions that the technology for interplanetary travel can be developed. So the emergence of signs of alien life is connected to the existence of socialism on a different planet. The aliens will plan the revolution on Earth based on their experiences of communism in their planet."

A rather loose democracy is probably the best way to describe my ideal government, but then again that's a rough description as it is. I want to be able to have my voice heard but I don't want the threat of losing my rights and privacy as a citizen. Hard thing to balance but if were talking ideological here than there ya go.

I wouldn't mind to live in a farmer's republic where only landowners have a vote. In the cities, only people who owns and runs their own business and pay their taxes would have a say in public affairs. Like it was in the good old day, but without aristocracy and clergy. The monarch will work as a head of state.

I wouldn't like to live in a dictatorship nor a theocracy.

It is a relief that your fantasies would not come into fruition. The best you can hope for is a Christian president who shares your, er, "proper" Christian values and qualities. Perhaps then they might hope to affect changes that would align with your suiting.

Let us thank the balance of democracy for not allowing the fantasies and biases of one such as yourself to take control. I'm genuinely grateful for this.

Cool, I didn't even have to be the one to bring it up, but yeah benevolent dictatorships are the best possible system, and usually the one when a certain culture achieves its "golden age". Tito is also one of my favorite recent history leaders and I'm proud to be living in his home country, although not at all proud with our current leaders. If you want to go further back into history, Cyrus the Great is probably THE role model for how a benevolent dictator should rule.


Any form of dictatorship is undesirable in the face of democracy. With dictatorships there is no sure-fire way to perpetuate these qualities of benevolence in their leaders. With dictatorships, control ultimately rests in the hands of one individual (or one group of individuals), and the quality of governance is always dependent on their personal qualities.

It is irrational to think of such systems as morally preferable to democracy. And their unreliability is only a case for labeling it as political regression. Be thankful for your democracy if you live in one.

Tyranny of the majority is a thing you know. In democracy there is no sure fire way to perpetuate benevolence. Once you have a benevolent dictator there is a good chance of them picking a good successor. Also that one individual can get guidance from public opinion and expert opinion.

Why should I want to trust my political fate and living standards to one person who is "just so much more benevolent" than most other people? It's nonsense. There are too many huge, fundamental political problems of dictatorships in the first place.

Believe it or not a country with a good dictator is desirable, sometimes you just need to get stuff done and the bureaucracy within democracy doesn't allow for that. A democracy is good with keeping the status quo while changing things very slowly, while a dictatorship is good at getting things done and when you have a dictator that has the best interests of the state in his mind it can be good.

Any dictatorship if the world could somehow produce one decent, reliable and capable person who'd be that leader, unfortunately that happens once in a blue moon.
Democracy is only a good thing if the responsible population/demographic has a decent head on their shoulders.Something which hasn't been the case since ancient Greece.

When was the last time you saw a tyrant go after a majority? They always go after minorities. If the majority votes to have your rights stripped they will get their way. They can even vote to have you killed. Also no the democracy we have in most countries is not a real democracy. It does not involve the whole population it really only is controlled by elites in many countries that only have their interests in mind not yours. You're just blind to see all the wars and violence brought on by these governments claiming to be a democracy but arent. When was the last time you voted for a war?

You are selectively picking dictatorships that didn't work while ignoring ones that did.

My political science professor convinced me that a monarchy is actually the best type of government, so long as the ruling patriarch listens to the will of his people. Democracies are slow to act since lawmakers and politicians have to quibble among themselves for the most trifle of matters and almost never get anything done. It also allows corruption to be more widespread.

So yeah a monarchy with a good king for me.

Not really. Their monarchs don't really have much political power and are more so symbolic figureheads. They have a parliament system and voting. I might be a little off on this.
