if you have the power to change anything you consider wrong (especially things anyone thinks are normal or just inevitable), what it would be?

Its okay. I think the Republic is the greatest form of government we have. On one hand we need the power to be with the people, but on the other hand, people are fucking stupid so we need the decisions to be made by the intelligent people among us.

far from perfect in practice, but its the best we got right now imo

Just the usual posthuman scientific inventions (SIM, AGI, MNT). Those inventions will make society do all the work that needs to be done, it would change it so radically and almost all our /current/ problems will be solved.

>> No.3615324

>>3615246

Oh come now. There is more than one totalitarian ideology you know.

The difference lies in how each system reached its shitty statist-quo. Fascism got there by nationalism, hawkish behaviour and an ideological need to squash communism, socialism, the jews and the trade unions.

Communism got there because the Bolshevik party thought that only they could be trusted with bringing about their utopia. This lead to them shutting down multi-party elections in the soviets and driving all other parties, all over the political spectrum, underground.

In the fascist case, they wanted a system like that from the get go. Marx's theory however seems to advocate democratic (instead of bureaucratic) rule. The movement was taken over by people who used this vision as a carrot while thinking central planning was more important than stopping exploitation.

You should read up on the ideology of your opponents, otherwise you don't really know what they actually believe.

btw I'm not talking only about a system as state/republic/capitalism, but in general.

i.e. what do you think about the penal system?
I think that the fact that any crime is usually punished, except for the time, in the same way (prison) is ridiculous and counterproductive.
People who committed mild crimes and in general that aren't a serious threat to others should be helped to be rehabilitate.
On the other hand is wrong that mafia-men and dangerous irretrievable criminals are kept in prison with food and comfort with taxpayers money.

Democracy is defined now, and has always been defined as majority force rule. There are no set rules, it is simply 50 rapists telling 49 women rape is now legal.

They are identical in almost all ways, save for name. Hitler enacted public ownership of the means of production. Companies were told what to produce, how to produce it, how many workers to have, how much to pay them, where to buy the materials from, whom to sell to, how much to sell for, and when to sell. Basically, Hitler's fascism, is the true communist's wet dream.

Democracy is mob rule. Period. And totally against Liberty.

Hitler didn't enact total public ownership you retard, in most cases he forced smaller businesses to be absorbed into larger ones and gave slave labour to preferred private businesses.

>This paper examines the incentives of private sector firms to undermine stable institutions and democracy
in one of history's most celebrated cases – the Nazi seizure of power. We offer new evidence on the size
and value of connections between German industry and Hitler's movement, drawing on previously unused
contemporary data sources about supervisory board composition and stock returns on the Berlin Bourse.
One out of seven firms, and a large proportion of the biggest companies, had substantive links with the
NSDAP. Crucially, our results show that helping to undermine democracy at important junctures produced
high returns. While the market as a whole rose after Hitler's accession to power, connected firms
outperformed by 5 to 8 percent between January and March 1933.

Personally I would set up a system where the masses are polled for every major decision bar matters too urgent to wait for a public response. Every new or change to a law, how the government splits it's money between various departments will all be presented to the public to allow them to comment and hopefully iron out any possible problems. Nothing should be kept secret apart from info about the more secretive side of the military.

A well educated man is more likely to understand his options and situation, and how to best take advantage of whatever he has. In the end people would understand why the state should be kept small, and because they are educated enough to have a function democracy, such a change would be swiftly enacted.

Democracy really is a beautiful system, if only the people weren't so damned stupid.

Removal of government coercion. People should be free to choose how to live their own lives. Instead the government forcibly takes people's money and uses it to kill people in other "nations." Governments are parasitic entities that have no legitimacy at all. The bloody history of 20th century conflict was made possibly by conscription (slavery) and taxation (theft).
