By David Leyonhjelm, published 24/1/2020

The socialism that I believed in at 20 is substantially different from the socialism of today’s 20 year olds.

Individual,

Democracy is the most uncertain form of government, precisely because it's the most equitable in terms of allowing everybody to periodically express their choice. So it's the least Utopian, most open to change, most unpredictable.

I'm not sure what you mean, if you think there are 'better' forms of dictatorship ? That sounds like 'better' forms of cancer. And of course, one huge problem with dictatorships is that they get more and more entrenched and brutal (viz. Zimbabwe, the Philippines, Russia), so that only a very violent revolution can overthrow it - and that usually means yet another 'new' dictatorship, to start the whole rotten process all over again.

Give me uncertain democracy any day, even if I didn't vote for the bastards.

Joe

Loudmouth,
And I'd rather see a benevolent Dictator who comes down hard on the wrong-doers !
I always believed that's what Democracy does but it turned out it doesn't !
It's a very effective tool for greed & elitism !

If their was any doubt how putried, deceitful and immoral Marxism turns out, just look at the Democrats in America.

Individual,

"And I'd rather see a benevolent Dictator who comes down hard on the wrong-doers !"

And when has that ever happened ? A 'benevolent dictator' is - so far in history - a contradiction in terms.
