Corrupt governments usually get money in a variety of ways. \n\nTake North Korea. How does North Korea survive as a nation? The people are terribly oppressed. There are very little if any freedoms they enjoy, their agriculture is poor, their manufacturing is poor, and yet North Korea survives.\n\nOne method is brutal exploitation of the citizenry. By creating a police state, you can basically use the citizens as very cheap labor. In return you give them ramshackle housing, just enough food, and clothing to survive.\n\nEssentially, you keep them weak, poor, under educated, and you control what kind of things they see and hear. \n\nOnce you have a dictatorship, you can then invite foreign companies into your home country. You charge the companies a fee for using your resources. (Cheap labor, raw materials, etc.) \n\nHere's another method. \n\nSince your citizenry is in dire straits, you can get foreign aid to help feed the poor. Use the money to advance your police state power. If you manage to be an ally of the US, you can get lots of foreign aid, military weapons, and so forth. If you are willing to let the US put a military base in your country, you'll get lots more funding.\n\nAlso, you can create industries that exploit the Western world. You have cheap labor at your disposal, so you can make things really cheap, and turn around and sell them in Western nations at a huge profit. (Why do you think China has so much money?)\n\nYou could also harbor drug lords to make and sell drugs. You allow them to exist as long as they give the government a cut. \n\nThese are just a few examples of how a corrupt or brutal regime stays in power. \n\nHope this helps.

Hope this is not too late\n\nIt's fascinating - went from an imperial government to republic, lots of corruption, then to communist, famine, cultural revolution, then a little bit capital with the opening of the economy, more corrupt, and now the country is pretty stable.\n\nMillions upon millions of people died, values changed, people became selfless (when the govt promoted a man called Lei Feng) and now adays it's every man for himself no matter what happens to everyone else.

You should go to china , Once upon a time (about 20 years ago),China government implemented a social movement against criminal activities called "yangda" ----burglary,rape,robbery,bribery etc...anything could sentence to immediate execution by gun-shot (relatives paid for bullets fee, How miserly the government is!!!)

PRevious answer was sort of right.\n\nThe Chinese government is still Communist- in Tiannamen Square many students had gathered to protest the Chinese government.  The government sent in troops and tanks to dispell the protesters, and when they refused to leave- used force against them.

Democracy is the best we've had so far.  I would like to see more direct democracy in the future.\n\nThe converse of democracy is a dictatorship.  There are many advantages to a dictatorship as well.  Countries with dictatorships essentially take a greater gamble.  A democracy will never vote in the best leader for a country, because the average IQ and political knowledge of a country is not great enough to make this decision.  A dictatorship with a perfect leader would enjoy a strong government for the leader's lifetime.\n\nThe problem with a dictatorship is that when a bad leader is in place, or when power gets the better of them, the country is stuck with them.\n\nKeep in mind that the most deadly dictator of our time, Hitler, was born out of a German democracy.  Now, Hitler never won more than 37% of the vote.  Somehow, the majority government fell and handed the power to him by default.  \n\nAll I can say is that we still have a lot to learn about what makes a great government system.\n\n\np.s...I agree with the comments about communism, but must mention that this is a separate issue from democracy.  A Democratic Communist state could theoretically exist, and it may just happen in the future.  Keep in mind that it may be much ado about nothing.  We call ourselves a Capitalist state, but are far from the true meaning of Capitalist.  All in all, we are a mild socialist state.   Likewise, a future Democracic Communist state would likely not be a true communist state, but simply a stronger form of socialist state.\n\nIe.,,,the possible futures of China or Russia.

One would have to select them by hand and send them all messages asking them to participate and give them reasons too. Tell them what the outcome will be of this "revolution".\n\n\nAt least thats what i would do...

You need a revolution, no other way. The government is so damn corrupted and feeding nonsense thru the media. I dont think you can remove it by impeachment or other such stuff. Your 'democracy' consists of two rich parties, both full of ****. Any other party doesnt have the money to participate. Honestly, without atleast a billion dollars for the election campaign, no one can notice anything else.

Would it be better to have no internet in China?\n\nTHOSE ARE THE RULES.\n\nThe dissidents know it.  (We do it to pedophiles here.)\n\nSometimes, to bring about change, you have to compromise.\n\nMaybe now, it's not so funny when you shoot off your mouth and hide behind your "right to free speech".

Let China do it.  Please hurry Japan!  Change your constitution and stomp on North Korea!

China does not have the power to annex Taiwan. T\n\nhey could drop a few nukes on them but the whole point of annexing Taiwan is to steal its wealth built by decades of capitalism. So destroying that wealth would be rather self defeating.\n\nChina's conventional forces are flatly incapable of doing the job without nuclear weapons.

It was necessary for us to create a stable govt. in Iraq to prevent it from becoming a host country for terrorism and to counter the very real threat they posed of producing WMDs.  (I feel we should have waited and taken on Iran or Syria first)\n\nBUT\n\nIt is apparent that democracy is beyond the capabilities of a factionalized and tribally minded Iraqi population.  Therefore, we should get out as soon as possible rather than continue this wastefull experiment in democracy.\n\nHOW we should do it is arguable.\nBut I suggest setting up a US friendly authoritarian government.  One that will have the determination to counter any insurgency using the most severe means.  Yes, I'm talking about a dictatorship.  This might offend some, but it is the only way to effectively govern a nation like Iraq.\n\nOur goal should be somewhat selfish.  We're trying to protect ourselves by establishing stability. We should do so in the way that's least harmful to us. \n\nIf you look at the alternative.  This idea really isnt' so bad:\nCivil war vs. our US led leadership OR\nIslamic dictatorship vs. US. led leadership.\n\nAlso, if you look at history, which was worse:\nShah of Iran or Ayatolah Komeni?\nBatista or Castro?\nChina before the revolution or China under Mao?\nCambodia before or after Pol Pot?\n\nSome countries are destined for dictatorship.  Those that are will be better off under our guiding hand.\n\nOf course this could not work over the long run.  We must have a strategy to totally exit from the region once it is stabilized.  Involvement in the mid-east does not work for us.  We must accept that fact.\n\n!!!---If I've answered your question.  Please remember to vote for my answer! ---!!!

Nothing can prohibit aggressive acts by other nations outside of self interest. Our modern era has shown that nations are reluctant to act aggressively unless they believe, correctly or not that these actions are in their own self interest. \n\nThe U.N., for example is the primary governing body for the global "league of nations" if you will. Each of the member nations are sovereign in their own right, and, while one would hope for benevolence and good will among all history has proven that the interest of the sovereign will supercede that of the greater good.\n\nThe idea that liberal democracies do not wage war against one another is not new - however is this argument based upon political systems and societal infrastructure, or the inherent fact that most liberal democracies have mature economies that depend upon external trade for their very existence? \n\nTo position this argument China is certainly not a liberal democracy, and their constant sabre rattling over Taiwan might eventually lead to very real slings and arrows being tossed over the Taiwan Strait. \n\nIf China were to invade or attack Taiwan, is it OK to fight because they are not a liberal democracy? Or, do we sit back because eliminating trade with China would cripple our economy?\n\nIf you were the Chinese leadership, in the contrary position, what decision would you make? Would you really launch an aggressive war against Taiwan, alienating your growing economy from the global market and starving your nation of it's desperately needed energy supply?\n\nI don't ever see China invading Taiwan unless they truly believe, correctly or incorrectly that it is their best strategic option.\n\nThus, this is a really long way of saying international law doesn't mean jack - Nations act based upon what their leaders want, because they think it will get them what they need. "Laws" aren't going to stand in their way. \n\nIf you're looking for more evidence, Google Germany, 1939-45.

We don't need more government...got too darn much already.  First they will want to do is impose taxes and I already pay too much.  \n\nBy the way; when you get China and its people on board let me know.

The Chinese government is one of the most effective governments in today's world, and certainly superior to that farce in America.\nThe Olympic games is an absolutely major event affecting everything, like greater emphasis on teaching English, teaching less-educated Chinese how to be polite, improving buildings and roads in and around Beijing, and generally working hard to provide traditional Chinese hospitality to all visitors.\nThere will be no limitations on photography, and I guess that the web blockage will be cleared. There are ways round it anyway.

The best way to govern is to have an altruistic dictatorship.  Someone who decides what is best for the people with the people's well-being the only deciding factor in his or her mind.  Since it is a dictatorship, there would be no beauracracy to get in the way, either.
