How very fortunate that nobody is talking about "pure Democracy", but rather a more balanced representative republic that does not make land more powerful than the citizenry.
- peter_retief 7y agoRepresentative republic sounds good. Land is important though, probably at least as important as the citizenry.
- eropple 7y agoNo, it's not. People take primacy over either corporate interests or empty dirt. The insistence that this not be the case always, in every case, comes from some sewage-tier political pseudophilosophy.
- peter_retief 7y agoWell I guess we disagree on that. If we take Zimbabwe as a example of a democracy by the people we get the majority taking the possessions of minority groups. Now there are no jobs and no food. People are starving. Its not as simple as you say.
- jakeogh 7y agoThen stop using the wrong term. Democracy -is- majority rule. It's endlessely parroted by the groups that specialize in nation-breaking.

- eropple 7y agoNobody in this reply chain used the term "democracy" as a descriptor, so why is your trilby so tipped? We've got borderline lizard people--sorry, globalist--conspiracy from you elsewhere in the thread, so to be frank I'm not expecting much, but the words are right there for you to read.
- jakeogh 7y agoAh lizard people. Paradoxically you fell for that, it's a confirmation bias hack. Note the reflexive grasp for the conspiracy blanky. Try holding the idea that some people are for open borders, and that there are power centers behind nation breaking in your head at the same time.
