Democracy
Even if handled properly, democracy will never be the solution to any civilization and/or species because of biological evolution.
People tend to blame capitalism for the global problems. I say democracy. And the fact that people blame capitalism is to me all the necessary evidence to support my blaming of democracy. People blame capitalism because they are stupid. This stupidity is projected by the power of the people through democracy making for poor economic management because idiots detain power.
Basically, I'm saying that democracy is a proven failure by the fact that people are stupid enough to blame capitalism. Capitalism is a failure because of democracy, which exists because people are stupid enough to believe their voices and opinions are legitimate enough for every individual to detain power, yet most people disagree in political debates. Rare are the cases where two people will end in agreement. So you disagree with almost everyone else, you are closer to being right than most people. Yet democracy is ok? How can you disagree with most and still believe democracy is the right way? You blame capitalism because you don't see the problem with democracy because you are insufficiently intelligent and/or wise to see the problem with democracy. Capitalism is a brilliant concept. Instead of exchanging objects which have subjective value relative to one's needs, someone came up with the idea to create something with universal value. Genius, seriously.
Democracy, on the other hand, is what has created one of the worse case scenarios possible for the otherwise idealistic capitalist system. Because idiots, the most populous category of humans, detain power.
If you consider everything I just said as a big mathematical equation, the result is the following:
Capitalism is responsible for global problems because people believe capitalism is responsible for global problems.
So stop blaming capitalism. Because the problem behind capitalism is us, the people and our worthless opinions.

I think you have a misunderstanding of the concept of political democracy. It's based on Two fundimental principles: Most people know what's best for their government and it provides the most efficient path to correcting government mistakes. You seem to have the idea that most people are too stupid to be entrusted with managing their own political lives - if you take the short view, that seems possible - politics can and often is temporarily controlled by demagogues, but in the long run democracy has proven to be the most satisfactory system of government management yet devised.
ReplyDeleteCapitalism - an economic system - often impinges on government. After all successful capitalists probably have undue political influence - especially if they are allowed to use their wealth to manipulate the political process; but even then their influence waxes and wains and in the long run is subservient to the democratic process.
The most efficient? I would disagree with you in an instant. It's not because a system is not democratic that it cannot have an honest ear to the citizens. Democracy is efficient? Yes, in theory it is! But then you look at the world and there evidently are major mistakes. Giving power to everyone is a clear mistake that has brought the world to it's knees. Another big problem is that the beautiful theoretical concept of democracy, when applied, twisted democracy. In Canada, the Prime Minister has absolute power, like if he had 50+1%. But he only has 39% of the votes. Same thing for Mexico and many other major "democratic" countries. The concept of democracy is good, but then you apply it and when the parameter of human judgement comes in, democracy becomes an enthropic system.
