Absolute nonsense. Maybe PURE communism won't work in reality, but if they hadn't had Brezhnev for almost 20 years or if Andropov hadn't died, the Soviets may well have still been around today. Given incompetent enough leaders, any political system will collapse. |
That only applies if the ruling party can't be removed from power. How is a democracy going to collapse? We have the choice to kick out party every several years.

How about both partys sucking and spending like drunken sailors?
Also there is the problem of people starting to vote for what they want, and not what they need. Also intellegence runs on a bell curve... which can lead to problems when it comes to very complex issues. |
Look, we all know in the US, parties will change their position and competency over time due to the influx of new members and history changing events. Unless something extremely terrible happens which forces desperation, I hardly think people will choose a authorian political system (who makes false or radical promises to gain popular support) over a free one. Short of being invaded, not all political systems collapse from incompetent leadership.
