>Democracy?That's been working out great for us so far, definitely no issues whatsoever, right? Just multiple populations thinking their votes matter, when it is unelected bureaucrats in the state who truly rule everything.
>Anarchy?You'd still result in a society where a minority dominates the majority, you'd just be trading your Nobility of the Robe for new Nobility of the Sword. Whoever has a monopoly on violence, establishes and controls society.
>Theocratic?Every theocratic institution inevitably succumbs to the same corruption as any other system - but this time, they turn your faith into a mockery of itself in order to exploit you for labor, wealth, and power.
>???Really, I'd like to know what alternative you'd have to give for this conundrum. What system of governance is 100% assured to prevent corruption and the eventual domination of the population by a ruling class?
>>510825968And in this anon's defense, I think he is speaking of the tendency of mankind to centralize themselves around charismatic/powerful leaders. It's one of the few things that every society and culture, from antiquity to the modern day, has in common; the desire for a strong and confident leader to ensure their prosperity.
