Dark Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I actually like a breed of a democracy and a dictatorship, if that makes any sense at all. The dictator has absolute power, yet the people are able to choose the dictator on a simple majority vote and have the power to impeach the dictator. democracy makes no sense. We should all be under a dictatorship [/topic] The first post did not ask for your view on democracy' date=' nor did it ask for an alternative. So why have a [/topic'] tag when you aren't even referring to the topic at hand? Maybe I am misunderstanding what a democracy is, but I think that it is when everyone in a body votes to pass a law, give a right, loan money, et cetera. When you are telling one to take a vote, you are telling them. You are not asking if they want to vote for a vote, or if they want to vote for a vote for a vote. You are simply stating that a vote is in order, and no one can change that decision. So how is a democracy when votes are set in stone? Shouldn't we vote to take a vote? And shouldn't we vote to take that vote? Well your topic makes no sense whatsoever, so anyone can make it what they want. Apparently, hijacking threads are against the rules. I think I was warned for that, sometime in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every current form of government is horrible alone, but the joining of some could make them work.I mean, every thought our [uSA] Republic-Democracy was cool beans until people got bored and started hating it.So let's pick them at random,The voting rules of a Republic, The authority of a Monarachy, the reliability of a Oligarchy and the 'rules' of Communism.I will call him Rearcholimunism.

Dark Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 An anarchy will eventually cause a mass of confusion, and we obviously need to establish some kind of formal rule and not go governmentless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Look: either call me Dark or Michael. Someone stole the name "Dark", so I'm stuck with these damn symbols in my name. And that wasn't sarcasm. :/ Anarchy is probably the second-stupidest form of government (oxymoron), below pure democracy. Majority wins isn't always a good idea unless some kind of restriction is in order. Otherwise one group would outnumber another group, and it wouldn't be a democracy.

Altαir Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I thought I was expressing sarcasm in my post with Anarchy. I'm confused. I despise Anarchy too. But it solves political problems for a while. When changing a type of rule, every government plummets into Anarchy, then comes back up. Anarchy is like the white to a sheet of paper, the 1 to every problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm a bit confused now. Yes, anarchy is a temporary solution to problems, but if you stay in an anarchy too long, the country or state will succumb to a wave of confusion.

Felix Culpa Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Well, technically, the idea of democracy is good, but the people who run it aren't. It's not run by the people. It's run by the people who run the people. Communism = good idea. Communism was screwed over by the leaders. Communism shouldn't have leaders.

Spirit of DMG Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 The U.S. has a Democratic Republic, which combines the two most Fail type of government (Since Anarchy is the Nihilism of politics, I'm not counting it as a form of government) and has done well for itself so far. I'm just waiting for the day an absolute monarchy forms, attacks the US and assassinates every political leader and takes over while the Congress is still debating on whether or not to do anything about it.

I thought a Republic was the same as a Democracy, except Republics had an extra level of people. For example, with a room of 100 people, in a democracy, you'd need 51 votes to pass a law. In a republic with a room of 100 people, and 10 representatives (10 people assigned to 1 rep), you'd only need 6 votes from the reps to pass a law. The people vote for the reps, but the reps ultimatley make their decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate them West Coasters and their anal sex.[/s'] Yeah, me no like that. But they make oaths not to vote for the wrong person. But, still, I don't feel like I'm voting, I feel like I'm telling someone else what to vote on. Therefore, I really don't have the right to vote directly, (excluding preliminaries?).

US=Democratic Republic We vote for the head chief, we get people who are supposed to represent what us, the people, want.If you want a real democracy, it would require a nationwide poll for every law being passed (ect.), which would take weeks at a time.Less accuracy /= less time.
