"reflect on democratic republic systems' grave shortcomings."
And do what in response? Abolish the current system of government? In favor of what?
- leppr 10y agoWho talked about abolishing? If the only way to change the status-quo is to completely discard the current system, that means it's clearly not flexible enough and indeed has to be abolished. But I doubt that's the case. Open up, experiment on small scales, improve incrementally. We keep calling that system "Democracy" as a shortcut(/newspeak), maybe it'd be good to indeed try pushing it toward a real democracy?
