Because I see democracy for what it is. A scam. Wasn't suggesting US democracy is any better.
Of course democracy is a scam. But it's interesting how many different forms there are, all completely unrepresentative.
All the same shit only presented differently.
Do you really want to be beholden to the whims of one family who you have zero possibility of changing? Because that's the alternative. Anyway, in France, the Prime Minister is much more akin to the US' vice presidents, except with actual power
Now we're beholden to the whims of the elites, and the same is true under a monarchy. I'd like a democratic system. But unfortunately, there isn't any.
A difference between the Prime Minister in France is that both the parliament and the president can fire him.
That's a natural reality, it's the core of every human system since the dawn of time.
Pretending otherwise introduces additional suffering into the system.
You're a follower of the Machiavellians (Pareto, Mosca, etc.) or did you come to these conclusions independently?
