Democracy has the many elect a few
The elected few wield power from the electorate
The power provides a means to benefit the few
The few benefit at the expense of the electorate
The electorate votes for a new group
The elected few wield power from the electorate
The power provides a means to benefit a few
…
How can this chain be broken?
if you have a problem with the arragement ,make sure you are among the elected pigs
Ancient Africa was Socialist.
Democracy and Capitalism are concepts of the evil White devils
How was ancient Africa socialist?
Either you don’t understand African history, or you don’t understand socialism.
Socialism is where the government owns the tools of wealth creation.
Show me an African Civilization where men weren’t in charge of the tools of production.
One will suffice for I know of none
What they call ‘democracy’ has become increasingly the worst form of manipulation and crushing of people’s hopes and dreams. The wolves are in charge now. I know you had a lot of hope in this new president, pole sana.
No. I didn’t have a lot of hope in this president.
To the contrary I have always been very vocal that all politicians are the same and voting is an exercise to choose the lesser evil.
Ruto was by miles the lesser evil in contrast to UhuRao
And you miss the entirety of my point.
The reason democracy and all other forms of govt can’t work is the same. In all systems, men will be assigned donated power, and they will use it to their advantage.
It’s basically the position of the Divine when Israel wanted a King.
Even David, a man after God’s heart, used power to his benefit at the expense of others.
Men are incapable of a just society because men aren’t just.
That’s why in the millennial rule the world is a paradise… why? A leadership absent of the basic impulses of Man.
If we revert back to barter trade no one will vie for any seat. Since there will be no tax to pay. You remove money we will do away with the greedy pack of leaders.
The reason that I am a proponent of anarchism. Presently practicing libertarianism as I transition.
Yes. Communism is the answer
Voting age should be raised to 40yrs. The decision on who should govern and the path the country should take should be the preserve of mature citizens not some pimple faced 18yr old adolescents.
Communism is worse because of one thing…
It takes all power from the many and concentrates it on the few. If you can’t trust politicians with democratic power, it’s insane to trust them with absolute power.
Would you trust the Kenyan govt with absolute power? Is there any government since independence that you can entrust absolute power to? Where do you get these people you’ll trust with absolute power under communism?
So the minority should make decisions for the majority?
Recipe for disaster.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The 18 year olds are children and students of the 40 year olds.
Any form of order is preferable to disorder… that is a fact of life.
Anarchy gives totalitarian powers to the powerful and takes away any semblance of power from the weak. So the worst system for the weak is actually anarchy.
That’s not economically accurate. Tax is actually a very good way of redistributing wealth. Without tax, the ultra wealthy keep all they have and social nets die a quick death.
Also, tax is responsible for running a governmental structure that’s essential to a society that will help any form of trade thrive.
You can’t have your cake and eat it.
You are speaking of something totally different from anarchism.
Money is not a store of value. Its a prove of work done. It was I owe you note. The day I realised it. I no longer hold paper money. It loses value. When there is a inflation it is rendered worthless.
So when we revert to barter trade. Government will collect nothing .
You do know taxes predate money?
A govt MUST tax to offer services like security which in turn are necessary for trade.
The Silk Road trade routes only flourished because Chinese Dynasties protected the routes and guaranteed safe environment for trade.
Without money, you pay for taxes with goods.
To do away with tax you have to do away with govt.
And trade can’t thrive without a govt because why would I trade goods when I can take forcefully without consequence.
Tax doesn’t cease with money… it ceases with govt… which in turn kills the environment necessary for trade to thrive.
And money is MOST definitely a store of VALUE…
That’s the EXACT use of money… to store value.
The assertion that money isn’t a store of value ignores the basic fact that you live in a world where goods and services are both bought and sold for money.
NO!
I am showing you the practical outcomes of the abolishment of organised authority.
And this is literally something that has been tested over and over in the course of history.
What happens where organised authority crumbles?
What happens when governments fall and a society is left lawless?
I’ll tell you…
The strong have totalitarian authority because nothing checks their excesses over the weak.
The purpose of donated authority is that the absolute weak have a chance at justice.
You have more chance against the strong in organised authority than where it lacks
