re: #570 prononymous

Sorry for not responding sooner, I was tied up.

Maybe my point wasn’t well stated. I think the details matter MORE than the overall system. I think that communism could work, like it is in China. Or that a kingdom could work if you have a benevolent philosopher king. Etc. I also see instances where democracy hasn’t worked. I simply support democracy over the other systems because I feel that it will likely have the best outcome socially, given an intelligent populace.

Fair. I gently disagree about China…far too many human rights abuses to say that it’s the system they’d choose for themselves if they were free to do so. And it becomes less and less communist every day, economically speaking. Marx would throw up in his mouth/
