Topic: Your dream political system - page 4. (Read 2979 times)
What political system does North Korea have? Is that an example of Absolute monarchy with direct rule? I think absolute monarchy with direct rule is great if you are the one who rule, but shit if you are being ruled. It is a dream of most leaders but it is very hard to achieve since have to imprison or kill a lot of opposition.
I haven't voted yet. I guess I should choose "Liberal republic" but this would need more clarification, as the range of possibles within the definition of a liberal republic is just too great.
Why the fuck haven't you put Direct Democracy or City States in the poll?
It doesn't make a sense because "democracy" or "city state" aren't the political systems. Direct or representative democracy is nothing more than a tool, which could be used in any political system, even in absolute monarchy... Municipal bodies of the Saudi Arabia are democratically elected, for example. 
If I had absolute power, I would create and release a self-replicating nanovirus that eradicates the brain wiring for sociopathy, so that there could no longer be any negative political system.

Some examples:
Absolute monarchy with direct rule - none survived, there were many city states in the past with such form of rule;
Absolute monarchy with legislatures and other governmental bodies - Saudi Arabia, North Korea (de facto)
Theocratic monarchy w/wo legislatures and other governmental bodies - none survived I suppose;
Elective variation of absolute or theocratic monarchy - Vatican is elective theocratic monarchy with legislature and other governmental bodies;
Constitutional monarchy - there are many of them, GB or Spain for example;
Liberal republic - United States, Taiwan and many other states;
Roman-style republic - Syria (de facto);
Socialist republic - People's Republic of China, Socialist Republic of Vietnam;
Theocratic republic - Islamic Republic of Iran.

Just try to imagine that you have got an absolute power in some way.. It doesn't matter how, maybe through a coup, from royal ancestry or as the result of mutual destruction of existing opposition. Which kind of political system would you prefer to create?
