otoh, <<system of government>> might also should be based on selection of leaders by merit, with the selection done by people in turn selected by merit, and give all of them the mandate from heaven to do the best a meritocracy can do, so that the people might be <<satisfied>>, and each domain to own devices with none telling the other what to do how and when. Re <<That Democracy changes the leadership>> ... arguably time does a better job, especially if one system becomes corrupted in systemic way and cannot extricate self. If there is a philosophical difference between China and the like-minded, the difference might not be 'communism' or 'Communism' on the one hand and 'democracy' or 'Theocratic Democracy' on the others, but one of civilisation-state meritocracy and rule of majority tyranny against minority interests. I do not believe the Chinese would be happy under an Indian governing system, nor do I wager that Indians would be happy under a Chinese governing system. The good thing re the proto-strugglette between China and India is that it is definitely NOT about ideology but slivers of normally meaningless territory, and neither domain is trying to tell the other how to govern self. Very few CCP members are lawyers, and at the get-go, none are career politicians. They are invariably trained in STEM and the arts and and and, and worked at real jobs, and gradually promoted by a systemically meritocratic system with several thousand of years of practice, by which they are trained on the job of ruling. DNC / GOP? I do not know, for they do not rule over me and so I remain agnostic. Sure, corruption exists in all systems, but not all corruption are systemic in all domains per one dollar one vote. Flies can be swatted, foxes should be hunted, and tigers assuredly trapped, best by systemic protocol of de-corruption, as opposed to rules that allow OJ Simpson to go free. Too high a price if system does wrong in one case in either domain? Is the system for the Greater Good? If so, suffer it, in both domains, one for the Greater Good at cost of some individuals, and the other for the Greater Good but particularly for the individual good (problem, what is good for the individual at odds with what be good for the Greater Good). etc etc etc In the meantime, let us see what happens here Message 33398204 and there Message 33398213 as they move through the period under the leaderships of random folks casting spurious ballots on issues they cannot possibly fathom much less deliberate on. Am I happy to forsake my natural born right to cast a ballot so that none of my cretinous neighbour get to cast a ballot? Yes, until no, and then reset can proceed. and so hopefully go several more thousands of years, presumably.
