ONCE YOU REALIZE DEMOCRACY IS JUST MOB RULE AND THE SLOW ROAD TO COMMUNISM, WHAT IS THE NEXT FORM OF GOVERNMENT?

Most theorists, Especially Plato, but certainly enlightenment proponents, obsess over the means of creating people to suit our form of government. But what form of government is possible given the very real and variable people that we actually have?

This is where I make people unhappy. Because i want to understand the question: What people do we actually have?

And that’s uncomfortable.

But it’s the only way to design institutions that facilitate the cooperation between the people we actually have.
