truthful answer: authoritarianism

meme answer: authoritarianism

all I'm going to say is that when you're a poor third world shithole where nothing ever works and transnational corporation xyz and the CIA can buy off all of your politicians authoritarianism has it's benefits. people don't wake up one day and say "hey wouldn't it be swell to be ruled by an unelected strongman that can kidnap me in the middle of the night if I criticize him" for no reason.

what does filtered democracy mean?

Liberal democracy is the single best and most successful form of government there's ever been.

Depends on the time and place.

The main determiners are technology and preexisting institutions. Liberal democracy has been well suited in Western European countries and Anglospheric countries, but has failed largely in other states such as Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Russia, South Africa, etc. It was assumed that once China's nominal GDP hit a certain point, liberal democracy would magically come, but it never did and they're doing just fine under a one party rule

Liberal democracy like all other historical forms of government will eventually become obsolete, and in particular, it will probably crash abruptly. Cocaine is good for destressing when you first try it but it fucks you up after a while

>Cocaine is good for destressing when you first try it but it fucks you up after a while

But going for a walk is destressing both when you try it at first and after a while, it even makes you healthier in the long run.

So I guess liberal democracy must be here to stay, huh.

Really makes you think how analogies are for people who can't form a proper argument.

Fuck no, stronkmen are the easiest to CIA due to corruption. Just bribe them and they'll fall your way.

How is that even a question? Look at the map you posted. The richest countries in which the people enjoy the best quality of life are all democratic. With the small exception of several Arab countries rich on oil. When we see Americans and Germans emigrating in massive numbers to Russia or China, then we'll talk.

>implying liberal democracy leads to wealth
South America is at best two pegs above Africa in terms overall wealth
India is significantly poorer and less developed than China
Gulf states are way wealthier than eastern Europe as a whole

Stupid oversimplification

>>1897492
India also started it's economic reforms a decade after china and the government is regulated by checks and balances to ensure that it doesn't exceed it's mandate.

>Gulf states are way wealthier than eastern Europe as a whole
The gulf states are rich on oil and Eastern Europe was communist until 26 years ago. That's a retarded example.

26 years almost as long as what south korea took to develop

>>1897771
yes and South Korea was liberally funded by the US.

>>1897797

It still failed to develop nuclear weaponry unlike Best Korea

>>1897817
buying nuclear "tech" from pakistan which stole it from the west isn't developing.

>>1897484
And yet, democracy fails to work in muslim and many African countries, due to mixed populations and/or minorities that other part of country want to wipe out, which leads to a need of authoritarian government that holds those that could chimp out under control.
