We MUST have term limits for this to work. I also think we need to ban multinational corporations from donating to politicians as that’s a conflict of interest and the reason our jobs disappeared. We also need to enact something like the cursus honorum they had in Rome where if you have a government position you can only serve in the role you’re in for a set amount of time— if you don’t have the right stuff to get promoted, you’re out. That combined with an easier recall system to remove Bureaucrats that aren’t performing well for their constituents (building code inspectors, that sort of thing) would solve many issues.
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 think Mao mostly just starved innocent people to death, although he certainly did kill a few commies. Stalin was a lot more focused on purging his own inner circle.
No. Fuck Democracy. Lions are not to be governed by sheep.
No public school teacher. We're a constitutional Republic. Always have been.

We live in a banana democracy.
No a pear oligarchy

Democracy nearly always precedes dictatorship though, it’s an common precursor.
Plato wrote about this nearly 3000 years ago.
You do understand the average person doesn't understand this? By design me says.
Yes, democracy is a farce. You’re preaching to the choir.
Very true. It’s like war and peace. The peace never lasts. Then you get a terrible war followed by a great peace.
Nothing makes a mother fucker learn like pain.
Yep. If human beings didn’t manage to achieve “perfection” in the last 10 000 years, I’m not putting too much hope in the next 10 000 lol.
And corruption and apathy from within the democracy allows them the opportunity to “take”.
Rather than wasting anymore of my time I’ll just recommend you read The Republic by Plato
Stalin was based - he killed SO many commies.
Well...you’re not wrong. He does lead the world in killing commies (or did mao kill more?).
MAO
