I love it - 'you can vote in democratic elections as long as you can make thing happen' - so - errrr.. now every single voter has the absolute right to dictate what will happen?
See how blind ideology blinds you? (Of course you can't...)
I'm complaining about democratic elections because they CAN'T and don't create change to enable everyone to participate above poverty level.
Quote:So .... errrrr.. what kinds of things have dictators and despots 'made happen' .... apart from countless needless deaths and immense suffering and eventual revolutionary internal warfare....
Few dictators and despots have achieved good outcomes, but one-party states like Vietnam and more spectacularly China are achieving rapidly inproving outcomes for their citizens, in contrast to falling living standards for many in the democracies.
Quote:You English is very strange..... so each individual voter should now 'make things happen' -
(sigh...your blindness noted above)
It was Starmer in the UK trying to convince a sceptical UK electorate he "can make change happen".
Quote:as opposed to - for example - the MASS of individual voters voting down a 'voice' and then finding that the dictatorial 'government' is refusing to accept that verdict but intends to go ahead with its plans anyway
The mass of individuals cancel one another out in a blind, L-R, adversarial-party contest, which is why change for most people doesn't happen in democracies.
Successful "democracies" are likely to have displayed strong authoritarian leaders, eg Singapore.
Quote:... I take it you figure the RIGHT of the mass of voters here in our Democracy should simply be over-ridden by those who 'know better'......
Your error already exposed above: the mass of voters are divided roughly 50-50, eg, currently 51/49 Labor/LNP in Oz.
Quote:Jeez - even when that guy wrote 'A Majority of One' - he didn't suggest that meant a majority of one dictator - he suggested a majority of one man who was right in his belief .... an 'eccentric' if you like...
Explained above; if everyone accepts the dysfunctional global financiual system - a sad reality - then even a larger majority than a 'majority of 1' to the winning party can't change anything. Albo's been in power for 2 years and housing and hospitals are still going backwards, (and the gap isn't closing), same as under Morrison.
Quote:Now then - we need to be looking at Lawfare more deeply with 'Saggy Kanga' ... and try to get hir mind around ASSYMETRIC Lawfare as an included part of Lawfare... such limitations in the intellects of some here.....and elsewhere...
SK is also deluded by the present system which entails private financiers fundind the public sector (governement) via "taxpayer money" and the private sector, with interest bearing debt-money.
Resulting in democracy maintaing warfare between rich and poor taxpayers.
("Lawfare" is often based in cultural sovereignty bs).
Hope this helps...
Now that we've got you by the balls here - which precisely of these 'values' you discuss are peculiarly Western and which peculiarly Chinese or Vietnamese? Which specific business principles, for instance, or social principles, do you think apply only to one or the other of these 'sides' you see here?
Are the 'values' of the Chinese hierarchy any different from the West? HOW?
Are the 'values' of Vietnamese hierachy any different again, same-same? HOW?
Ha, ha - all have same 'business' mode.... ha, ha - you onry measure by what you consider 'success'... all have same-same social mode .... top dog deserving what can get... ha, ha... many at bottom eat fried snake ..... if can catch cobra in rice paddy...
Remember discussion with Indian eye-checker? She say "Aborigines badly treated in past!" ... then say - "System here great - get what you can get from it is the way!" ..... so ...
... all right for New Australian Indian to get cream from Australia using 'system' ...... that's the way it is, right? But any past getting cream of future dream for family etc with Aborigines lagging behind no good? Good for modern day Indian import - not good for past day English etc import......
THAT is how these people in schools are taught here these days..... to be stupid is as stupid does... I think she began to realise what she was saying.... she went quiet... OOPS ....
I can come here, study, 'invest' in property portfolio etc excluding and over the top of others etc to get what I want - that is the 'system' here ...... all well and good..... in the past an Anglo (etc) coming here and hacking a 'property portfolio' of a homestead out of the wilderness over the top of the local itinerant inhabitants was no good... even though it created the situation I can now enjoy to the max in my cunning Furrun way where all family know value of money and work under Patriarchy and gain massively over what they could ever do 'back home' where - apparently - things are more 'civilised' than being here in a colony torn from the Aborigines....
Bizarre thinking... truly bizarre...
When will Australia wake up?
