Isnt every country a dictatorship?

It doesnt really matter weather we vote or not, if its fascism communism or democracy, theyre all the same in the fact that one man is at the top of the pyramid in control of millions of people. Just in democracy they get to swindle you into liking them for a short bit. Or just hating someone more than them.

We still cling to the archaic structures that havent evolved much since the imperial era.

Switzerland is the only non dictatorship trying to run democracy and apparently it takes them forever to make decisions.

Maybe our current forms of government have become outdated? The justice systems definitely need an over haul. You can still win court cases based on eye witness testimonies. police forces aren't properly selected and trained either.

The people have always been the power but we are born into societies where we believe we have to give it away and we are powerless to it.

If every single person stopped paying taxes and the soldiers just didnt follow orders that one man at the top would just be one man.

Were born into a society where if you dont follow theyre grind you dont get food or shelter. Why do we support that? Because we have to? Because its who we are?

What is the value of national identity?

The fact that we can vote a party out of power is huge. It means the ruling party is held account to some degree. It's not to the degree that I want, I wish rich people who broke the law also went to prison, but at least we do have the power to change the course of the country by removing people from power.

Also, in a country like America, we have multiple branches of government. The president can't do whatever they want, bills have to go through congress, and they can be overturned by the Supreme Court.
Right now the Republicans are doing everything they can to end democracy and they're failing. Despite totally controlling two branches of the government, they're still losing to local judges. That's awesome.
