    You are talking about option 3. I will have none of it. This dichotomy, false or not, is the one being discussed in this topic.

    Then wouldn't the difference between 2 and 3 be a representative democracy v. a popular democracy, respectively?
    Under the definition that Demondaze is putting forth?

    All I needed to know.
    So you disagree with the notion of the man at the control board preforming his job in a Katascopic manor, but agree with the notion of a political idealist imposing his Katascopic plan on the man at the control board.
    You also agree with the political idealist managing his population in a Katascopic manor.

    It seems my original realizations of Kali's switch to political Marxist nonsense are true.

    Hitler was popular, but not capable.

    Only the capable shall rule.

    In any case you're discussing something that is specifically excluded from the topic. Popular democracy isn't the subject of the thread.

    I'm discussing governance by the capable. The difference here is that you are looking at it from the perspective of political realm and I am looking at it from the perspective of the sequences that acutally directly govern our lives.

    You are aware that all those economic gains went directly into his foolish military endeavors?

    I'm not defending him, but the act of pulling any nation out of a extreme spiral downturn is amazing in my eyes.

    He did it by forcing young men into uniform and stomping on his neighbors, and then to top it off he fucked it up in the long run. Capable my black ass.

    You're not discussing government at all.

    Perhaps that's because it's the obvious focus of the topic, and that it's in the political discussion forum.

    No matter the precautions I take, it seems impossible to get you people to actually discuss things that are actually relevant or useful. Fine, you skate around the dichotomy provision, but you can't escape the fact that you're posting:

    Not my fault we don't have a science forum, and as we already establish earlier: You are the Marxist scum here.

    Science? That's silly. Science is boring and useless. Unless it's of the political variety.

    You're boring! Science In The Social Field-4-life!

    He didn't save shit. He specifically rebuilt Germany for his idealistic and militaristic plans, and then proceeded to crash and burn.
