What would be, was, or is the best type of government? I think a Democratic Communism. Communism never really worked cause of their leaders. Mao starved his people, Stalin killed his people, and and Castro was dumb enough to look at Russia for help and after russia fell Cuba was S.O.L. Anyway, thats my opinion.

The best government is that which governs least.

I know of several countries that are communist and carry the title of "Democratic" or "Peoples" in it's offical title yet are far from it

Where have I heard this before..?

Jefferson I belive, If not he was the first to put it into practice.

Nox, that was Tom Paine.

Jefferson said..

"The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of the lending institutions and moneyed incorporations."

and,

"A little revolution, now and then, is a healthy thing. It is as natural as lightning."

You honor me greatly by thinking of me and mentioning my name. However, you will notice that this is the first post by the real Nox on this topic.

Kissy, Kissy,

Oops sorry. My mistake.

Wasn't Jefferson also into the theory of Isolation and didn't it not work out?

Yes it did...We stayed isolated until the beginning of the 20th century, and that was only broken out of serious political and economic necessity. The spirit of isolation remained strong until the end of World War II.

Thing is if we would have stayed Isolated in WWI there would not have been a second. the war probably would have ended with a treaty of equals between the European powers. There would not have been the humiliation or inflation that led to the rise of Hitler.

Castro was dumb in looking for Soviet aid? Who the fuck drove him to it? the US. Our blockade forced Castro in the soviet direction.

The best system would be an international Marxist-Leninist system with enough democratic representation to prevent tyranny, yet enough central power to prevent corruption.

i'm a capitalist pig,

so any government that allows the flourishing of capitalism i like.

but since i've not seen any better, and i'm not a governmental scholar,

i'd have to say right now america's way is the best way,

despite it's obvious flaws, which lies mainly in the people and those they elect than in the core structure of the system itself.
