Why?
Is one system provably better than all others and therefore must dominate?
I personally find the idea of an Oligarchical Republic to be a bit batty nuggets... Do i get to trade? Am i up against the wall in your world?

- nashashmi 3y agoThis was the reason why Cuba was kept out of the “organizations of Americas”. When they finally let this stupid reasoning go, it was too late. And Cuba was no longer interested in being part of the org. Democracy is a doorstop for foreign enterprises and influence. The locals suffer.

- dang 3y agoPlease don't use HN primarily for political or ideological battle. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. The combination of shallow + inflammatory on divisive topics is guaranteed to make HN discussion worse, at least for its intended purpose, which is curious conversation.
- Johnssmithss 3y agoAlright. Actually I don't use HN primarily for that. Have been posting here for years and rarely go into politic discussions. I get your point though.
