    So what’s the alternative then? Representative democracies devolve into shit shows given sufficient amount of time. Dictatorships are horrible, council-led states (Sowjet) don’t work either… So what’s left?

    Anarchy doesn’t work either…

        That hasn’t worked for North America, it’s not working in the EU and if I look at South America… no I won’t.

            Wow there’s so much wrong with this:

            The concept of a digital data processing machine was made by Charles Babbage, a mathematician from England.

            The first phone was constructed by Italian engineer and inventor Antonio Meucci, Bell just got the patent for something that was being “invented” in several forms in previous years.

            Karl Benz from Germany invented the automobile but it was already Leonardo Da Vinci who conceived the idea of mechanical vehicles. The French Nicolas Cugnot built the first steam propelled tractor/car in 1769.

            The moon might be yours but only because the USA confiscated all the German knowledge about rockets and took the engineers like Wernher von Braun

            If the US eliminated starvation is something I can’t deny nor confirm but you certainly invented the largest drug abuse crisis (opioids and derivatives) in the history of mankind. Oh and mass imprisonment is also an achievement that probably challenges China or North Korea.

            Not sure about the progress aspect there, I have doubts. But one thing I know for sure: The US needs better education, it’s horrible how wrong you were.
