Eh. It’s the least worst option, it’s great when it works. And is the least likely to result in a shit feast. But like an old building sometimes it can’t be fixed and needs to be torn down and rebuilt.
A very true saying although not all lions are nice. Look at the Stalin, the Kim’s or the Ayatollahs for example. Lions ruling sheep sounds great till you find yourself in a furry white coat...
Not denying ours is fucked and in need of an enlightened dictator to fix it. Just pointing out you gotta be careful and that democracy when working is the least likely to get you killed.
I'm fine with rolling it back a little. There are too many enfranchised illiterate dishonest morons in our society. Maybe limit voting to landowners, or business owners.
If we were to have a dictator I'd expect and hope him to be more of a Cincinnatus than a Julius.
I honestly believe our rise of cities and industrial everything has made everyone lazy, physically,intellectually and spiritually. I don't think its coincidence but rather a product. Almost everyone 100+ years ago knew how to raise crops and livestock. This seems moot to most people but being self sufficient changes your whole perception of reality.
Keep in mind that Julius was a true "man of the people", a nationalist and populist in the truest sense. He was always working towards returning Rome to its republican roots but was constantly thwarted by the roman elite, and of course ultimately destroyed by them. The roman elite were analogous to our current elitist class, swamp-dweller types.
The empire got 200+ years of prosperity after decades of disasters. Good times.
Fuck democracy

No. Fuck Democracy. Lions are not to be governed by sheep.

Absofukinglutely.
Eh...that remove many of us pedes who don’t have either of those. But I do agree we need huge changes.
Well Cincinnatus faced far different issues than Julius, less serious.
The real answer is that most forms of government can be successful if the makeup of the country is correct.
Our makeup isn't correct and it's too late to do anything about it.
Democracy went out the window with dominion
Democracy went out the window with the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, to be slightly more specific.
That it did.
