ITT I'd like to get a discussion going on a philosophical topic. Normally I try to not stray too far into the future. As Dr. William Pierce once put it, "I don't like to build castles in the sky."
But for the sake of argument, let's assume we are far in the future. The jewish problem has been solved, the immigration problem has been solved and so on. Imagine living in a White nation free from financial and political domination from jews and other anti-White elements.
Imagine the post-jewish world.
How should we govern ourselves?
Power does not exist as an end to itself. Instead, power is and must always be derived from something. If we lived in a post-democratic world, what would legitimize the new form of government?
Many, though not all Zig Forumsacks view democracy as a failed concept. It is easy to point out the fact that democratic governments tend to reward short term destructive behavior. Democratic politicians have no interest in fighting for the long term prosperity of the population and instead tend to focus solely on getting reelected in 2, 4, or 6 years. In addition, democracies are not rule by the people as much as they are rule by a small cabal of corporate media bosses who control the masses through propaganda and entertainment.
These are valid critiques of democracy. However proponents of democracy do have a solid argument. Power must be derived from something and the argument that power is legitimized by the consent of the governed cannot be thrown out entirely just because the majority of the people are lemmings. Lemmings they may be, but democratic governments have tended to foster a higher standard of living because the larger the electoral selectorate, the more likely politicians will attempt to raise the standards of living in order to please the mob. And higher standards of living lead to higher rates of development.
We must not forget that deriving legitimacy from consent of the governed is not a new concept and even Adolf Hitler sought legitimacy in it. The Anschluss for instance was legitimized by popular vote. As was his premiership of Germany. Contrary to popular myth, elections were held in Germany even after the National Socialists were elected to power
In addition to NatSoc Germany, electoral majority has been used as a legitimizing basis for numerous other European civilizations. The Norse and Germanic peoples elected kings as far back as ancient times. Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius described how German aristocrats met and voted for kings.
And speaking of the Romans, their first government was based on republicanism and it can well be argued that the justification for imperial power was based on the idea that the emperor was safeguarding the republic. So in a weird way, a non-democratic system legitimized itself under the pretext that it was defending democracy. My how times have not changed.
But the best argument for democracy is that it *theoretically* allows bad leaders to be replaced. Obviously in practice this does not happen as often as we'd like. Propped up by the Zionist media and possessing a silver tongue, a lying scoundrel can live out his life betraying his country and selling out his people's future while gorging himself on public funds.
But in a post-democratic world, what prevents political leaders from doing this? I have often heard people say that power should derive itself from violence. That might makes right. And I think that is a terrible system. Essentially it is like African tribal politics. basing a society on violence would create an African standard of living, not a European one.
If might made right, then whatever back stabbing, treacherous scoundrel managed to seize power by force could gorge himself upon the public just as much as any democrat. In fact, such a system rewards short sightedness even more than a democratic system. After all, in such a system it would be beneficial to starve the public so that they could not rebel and seize power.
So if we managed to overthrow the jewish elites, how would we ensure the prosperity of White people and effective government? What would need to be done to ensure that the corrupt and cowardly do not maintain office? And upon what bedrock should power derive?(Pointless thought experiment thread)
