The only way for a government to be flawless is to have everyone flawless.

I maintain that a communist regime would reign supreme. As long as everyone followed it and no capitolism got in the way, we'd all be fine.

What all the people in the U.S. who are against Democracy have to realize is they probably have more pull and more a chance to change things in this government then any other government. Of course its not flawless but no government ever will be.

On a side note...It's stupid to think that we would get rid of Nuclear weapons. Why would the most hated country in the world get rid of something that a lot of its enemies have. Maybe if everybody in the world got rid of their nukes we could...but even then I wouldn't becuase nobody is gonna know who's lying and who's telling the truth.

None the less it would be suicide for us to get rid of them.

I have to agree with the pont laid out here. There can't be a flawless form of government. In all honesty, communism sounds like a very good form of government, but only until you add in human nature.

I feel of those governments that have been introduced, Capitalism offers the most to a wider variety of people. It also does a better job of ensuring that if an individual is willing to work hard enough, then their potential is unlimited. Granted, this does come with a few downsides. However, the good tends to outway the bad more often than not.

Okay... uhh... a new topic!! Was France anti semitic in WW2, or was it really propaganda that tells people that every french person opposed the Germans.

No. Vichy France under Petain was a German puppet and basically a front for Nazi control of the French countryside. You can't say that the french were anti-semetic during world war II on the basis of a puppet set up by an openly racist regime.

True indeed. Darn puppets!!!

Democracy is just as bad as the other governments. Sure, the people get to pick, but what do most people know about politics? Most people I know vote on appearance and whether or not they like the guy. Few actually base it on the good of their country and choose the most applicable for the politician role they are running for. Even so, corruption still rules over Democracy, and it is hardly balanced at all. A single whole party could easily run all of the government (which is what is kind of happening now in the U.S.). Only a handful of current U.S. politicians seem to know more than a 5 year old when it comes to politics.

I hate to hear people bashing any other economy besides Democracy. It shows just how little people know. A good example is Russia. Ever since they changed to a Democracy the whole country has failed economically. Unemployment has sky-rocketed, and poverty is almost everywhere. Russia is not made for a Democracy, they should switch back to the much more successful Communist country that they were before.

Countries differentiate, and as said before there is no perfect type of government. It is beyond impossible. But when all else fails, people should just use common sense and you can get somewhere.

Well, a type of government that works well with a country depends on the people and the culture. I think communism works well, but my friends says it works well only on paper.

Well Communism would work perfectly if Human Instincts and Emotions werent added into the mix. People get greedy and the such and demand for more of things. When they dont get it they figure out other smarrt or silly ways to gain them. Yet in Russia Communisn worked well, and the switch to Democracy really hurt them economically.

Look at China, they have alot of people and it has gotten out of hand. Yet from studying a bit about China and how the Government works its easy to tell that if China became a Democracy at all or if they do and go to fast things around the world would pay harshly. Like its the Government that is restricting a certain number of children to be born nation wide, even though it hurts the xhildren that lack siblings it has worked much better then others would have imgained.

There way has some Benefits and some Downsides, yet the Benefits at the moment outweigh the down sides. Anyways if China became a Democracy to fast or at all then places like America, France, Britain, Germany, ect that buy cheap Chinese exports could suffer alot, and I mean alot.

So, yeah. Your right that no type of Government is perfect. They have there own upsides and downsides when it comes to certain things.

When I was in Russia - before the big change - communism wasn't working well. Nobody I talked with thought it was working well. Every joke I heard was about how it wasn't working well - or how it was never going to be achieved.
