Francis Fukuyama made a compelling argument in The End Of History And The Last Man that military dictatorship is the most effective, closely followed by capitalism. Unfortunately, the problem is that these systems are both unsustainable because they involve either exploitation or violence. Socialism gives a smaller curve but it is sustainable long term because the system is fair to all, not just a privileged minority. Democracy is by far and away the best form of governance as it is based on the principle of ''government for the people by the people'' The citizens of any democratic nation have the opportunity to change their government every 4 to 5 years and this freedom of political expression creates a fair and well balanced society. In democratic nations everyone enjoys equality of opportunity and this environment of fairness promotes entrepreneurial enterprise and fierce competition which serves to keep prices down for the consumer and foster innovation and technical advancement. Compare the stagnating economy and industrial wilderness of the old Socialist Eastern Germany with that of the mighty world beating industries of Western Germany. Therein lies the true and very simple answer. 1

Democracy is by far and away the best form of governance as it is based on the principle of ''government for the people by the people'' What a complete load of rubbish. You're literally just quoting what your far right trash newspapers tell you, and as one can guess they aren't telling you the full story. Democracy only works effectively under specific conditions. Namely, those conditions where the electorate is educated, politically well-informed and eager to participate. The radically low participation levels in western societies alone illustrates that the public does not have effective democracy. If it is "government for the people by the people" as you bizarrely believe, then why do only somewhere between half and sixty percent of people bother to turn up and vote? The facts do not correspond with your belief that society is democratic. Of course, you will find some way to blame that on the "loony left" rather than analyse your own perspective because that is what lowbrow narcissists do a lot of. Democracy was never intended to be a system where consent is manufactured because that is essentially the same thing as a dictatorship. I prefer Democracy because with that type of government you get a say in things and you get to decide who the person you trust the most to take care and manage people. Also for how long it has been around, not everything has been around for that long unless it is fair and efficient and people trust it, what I'm saying is I pick Democracy because It's fair, it's easier, and It's been around for a long time which shows you that they modified it over the years to come to the best it can be. 1

I prefer Democracy because with that type of government you get a say in things and you get to decide who the person you trust the most to take care and manage people. But no you don't. At all. You are given a choice between two puppets of power, neither of whom are in the least bit trustworthy or interested in taking care of you. Politicians are liars who game the system for power and if you haven't worked that out by now then you probably never will. I trust my grandmother the most to take care and manage people, but she doesn't have 30 million dollars to spend on advertising campaigns so she probably isn't getting elected. The entire idea that there is a democracy is just laughable, and believe me, the people who run society laugh about it every day. |
