    Interesting thought, in a Representative system, people with views that don't go along the lines of the majority are usually not represented, but since we are a Republic, the minority ideas are still protected. I can't really answer your question though, because I don't know your views and its very opinionated.

    Every government has lead to death, slavery, and no justice. Corruption may be likely with most people. I'm not denying that. But you people are acting like it's impossible to have a good dictatorship without corruption, and that is not true.

    What do you mean the minority ideas are still protected? That really doesn't do much for you.

    Yes, that is how things change. But some countries never have been empires, and probably never will be, due to geographical disadvantages, etc.

    When I talk about death, I'm talking about millions of people dying directly due to government actions, not even neglect. Nazi Germany killed millions, the Soviets killed dozens of millions, and China killed millions.

    You are correct, it is theoretically possible to have a good dictatorship, but the chances are about 0.000000000000000000000000000000001%. No sane person on earth would want to take that risk, because history has shown and proved otherwise countless times.

    Yes, in a Democracy, the majority has power to do anything, in a Republic, the Majority doesn't have absolute power to infringe on minority beliefs. The United States is a Republic, NOT a democracy.
