Forms of Government
Actually to all of you, but initially to
MM, KORIMYR, and DONKEY LEFT.
A week ago, (more or less) MM and Korimyr were having an almost exculsive discussion about forms of government. in fact, one or the other had suggested that it remain a two way conversation. I was glad to oblige at the time but broke in just to say that I had become interested, and would check up on the various forms described
Also, today, Donkey Left sort of suggested a new thread about forms of government. I agreed,
I did check out Technocracy, and was surprised to learn that it was no more, no less than the form of government predicted by Science fiction stories (plus the form of government fictionalized for Atlantis). Basically this government would be nearly Communistic wherein each person would have a job (primarily in arts and sciences ), with the humdrum requirements all performed by machines. All persons would share equally in the fruits of the community. Of course, there would always be the overseers, elected no doubt by the citizens and therefore being some what authoritarian. While I beleive that this sort of government Could come to pass in the future, We are far from being capable world-wide of embracing it at this time. Even the most capable of countries (us) could not do so. Thus, a new interim form of Government might be indicated.
Now, My described form of government is basically a Democratic-Republic (as our's presently is), with a smattering of Parlimenaryism.thrown in. (is there such a word??) Tho the idea is complete, I will need some time to compose it, as it has many components Later, in my next post, I will outline what I beleive would be a reasonable alternative to our present form
I hope some of the rest of you will start the ball rolling with your own ideas for the perfect government
AS a second appology for past disdeeds:
Please note that I am NOT downplaying the fact that I also must contend with a great deal of egg-on-my-face as a result of a horrendous mistake and mis-statement on my part (See appology in Post 109 of "What is the best form of government") Hopefully you folks will realize it was not intentional and forgive the error.
