As long as we're fantasizing, why limit to extant or extinct governments? Do you think a clean slate government design wouldn't be a huge improvement over any

As long as we're fantasizing, why limit to extant or extinct governments? Do you think a clean slate government design wouldn't be a huge improvement over any government ever present in the world?
Your parent post is absolutely correct about the major flaw in a democracy, and despite your insinuation, this is not, I believe, an unfixable problem.

The problem with every "clean slate" redesign I've ever seen is that it runs into bootstrapping issues. If bootstrapping a new form of government was so obvious or easy, it'd have been done by now.
- shasta 15y agoBy "bootstrapping issues" you mean that the people in power aren't in a hurry to give it up, right? Obviously they're not and that's why I used the term "fantasizing". :)
