Perfect is too subjective, and a dictatorship is what it is.
To quote Churchill "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

I'm with Cherokee Patti: A Constitutional Republic, just as the founders of 1787, as exemplified by the conversation between Benjamin Franklin and one of Philadelphia's socialites: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what have you given us?" "A republic, Madam, if you can keep it."

We've slowly but inexorably abdicated it to people who don't want us to keep it.

Flawed democracy. Not perfect....like human beings. Gives it a more realistic human feeling. Perfect.

Neither one

@cherokeepatti in that case, what would you want?

@clooo A constitution and a Republic.

Because Communism starts out with promises of a benevolent dictatorship.

In other words, I would be World Empress.

a flawed democracy
@puck61 Nope.
@PhoenixPhail Well, you should make yasef comfortable!
@puck61 I have fantasies of living in the middle of the woods somewhere, off-grid and as self-sufficient as possible. It would be a lot of work, but more comforting in a way.
As a Christian I wait for a theocratic dictatorship, but anything less than the theocratic dictatorship we wait for, would have to be a flawed democracy.

@AgapeLove I mean, the question is specifically about that abstract idea.

To some Hitler was the perfect dictator.

My dictatorship would use empiracle data to set policy. The conservatives wiykd self poop to death while things got better for everyone except the super rich.

As long as Big Don Trump wasn't one of the hired hands, what would it matter?
