[QUOTE="EndsExpect, post: 1185157, member: 11482"] This is an amazingly deep question and a lot of the comments so far are very good. We should view each country in terms of factions. In order for a person to gain power they must have the support of a group of people. That group of people must benefit from the ruler. Therefore it's sometimes more important to look at the faction behind the system of government than the government itself. My point is that if you look around the world... Monarchy won't benefit Africa or S.America any better than Democracy. The reason is because the factions behind any government are comprised of people who are too self interested and too short sighted. The US system is designed as a power sharing system, so that different factions can each have their ideas and needs addressed. The US has an incredible amount of factions that are forced to work together to achieve some goals. Most western democracies could be fixed overnight by removing the vote for women. The liberal factions are terrified of nationalism... because it serves as a unifying force that eradicates identity politics. [/QUOTE]
