Yes, we all saw how well this worked at Chernobyl. Single party rule - no ifs, ands, buts or coconuts.
There's no subsitute for democracy and people holding their governments accountable.

- steve-howard 12y agoWe've learned a lot from and since Chernobyl. Chernobyl came about because the people running the plant made a string of willfully stupid decisions to try out a safety feature for the plant. This isn't to say that democracy isn't superior to single-party rule, but that no one would invest in building a modern nuclear reactor and play fast and loose with safety procedures.
