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Maybe our current forms of government have become outdated?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?

Its just a survival tactic, we organize so we can have institutions to help us when we need them. If you have a car accident there are paramedics, an ambulance, a hospital you survive an have a chance to heal. Corruption is always there, usually because someone's family members or friends are in some kind of position of power and feel obligated to help out. Other times outright criminals get into positions to buy votes and the like. These pressures always exist and how much effect they have depends on the character of the people. Morality isn't just something to make people feel good, often it's the only thing that holds a nation together at all. The less moral the people are and the more savage the less they will thrive.
