Anarchy, and one in which all countrymen are moral. (And a theocracy, if everyone believes, but then it's a god's dictatorship) That is the problem with communism- for it to work, you need a strong dictatorship.

People should rule without the breed of politicians

It is possible in theory. Of course it probably wouldn't be a very good thing if it did happen. But there would always be opposition to that rule, no matter what. No ruler has ever been popular with 100% of their population. And in current times, there would be a heck of alot of opposition to a singular ruler.

Nope, a lot of dictatorships are usually attained trough one's own power and not the will of the people, hence so many people dislike dictatorships. Some countries can't just over throw a dictator, if the dictator has military power it's usually hard, and a lot of people are scared.\nOtherwise, yeah I'm happy with my democracy, but the party in charge however is a different story.

there is this "idea" that democracy is good and other types of government are bad and/or evil.  no one system of government is inherently good or evil, but that just not how it is viewed.  i'm a little more curious as to why america thinks it can "teach" democracy with bombs and force....but then historically what we see more of is the idea that america teaches a system of rule that supports the US is more what it means, be it a democracy or dictator.

When this Kichadi UPA government is tottering, under the weight of number of parties, how come, a national government, with leaders of opposite views, can be formed and expect it to deliver goods.\n\nThere are no states men, now a days, only politicians, who don't bother about the nation, but about themselves only.\n\nI think, this system will continue, because there is one party for each caste in India.. There are no principles involved, but only selfishness.

No. For some more enlightened and less idealistic-minded people we realize that the democratic system is simply a guide line. That every and any rule set can be circumvented or bypassed. Vote? As long as there are electoral colleges your vote means almost next to nothing. Our government is corrupt and run by influence and pay offs. You're kidding yourself if you honestly believes a flawed and corrupt system such as ours is effective. Look at Katrina relief. Look at the poor inside our country. Look at the homeless child rate. Then look at the golden umbrellas all the CEO's, senators, justices and governors retain even after retirement. There's what they want you to see and then there's the truth. Take the blue pill Neo.

The best type of Government is a democracy without the party system....that is representatives vote on each issue independently keeping the interests of their repective constituencies in mind and without being held ransom to common party interests and ideology. This enables a healthy national debate on each issue separately so that views of all the people are taken into consideration before a decision is made.

the answer to your direct question-- is a definite NO. as to the thesis that accompany your question-- it all depends. not all countries are in the same "bag" --humans differ as to their origins ( I mean social and political) and their heritage and their experiences with different types of governments or rulers. we can not and should not over-simplify "democracy" that it is applicable "as is" to all countries. that is wrong and that is why we have so many issues and problems in countries where their applications is resented. to cut short a long conversation -- democracy is the best among the the worst alternatives. but it should be applied with degrees of latitude to that particular nation/government/population -- like all social remedies in life -- it will take time before it bears fruit. hope it helps.

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.

You can not impose democracy by gun, simple as that. Democracy comes from within.

Society must function with some type of uniformed rules. Without these rules society will fall into anarchy. Basically, a life without any type of rules. That's pretty scary. Can you imagine life without any rules? You say teach your childern to respect nature. But then again, you are forming some type of rule. There is no such thing as total freedom without consequence.

It is said and I quote..."A lasting social government without a morality predicated upon spiritual realities can no more be maintained than the solar system without gravity."  \n\nA functional governement needs a moral basis for society to thrive... and thereby the government will thrive...

Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the Public Treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the Public Treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy always followed by dictatorship. \n\nWhen important issues affecting the life of an individual are decided by somebody else, it makes no difference to the individual whether that somebody else is a king, a dictator or society at large.

I doubt it. As long as there are people who are trying to live the laws and be concientious about choosing people to represent them as they see fit, I don't think that a totalatarian government would be able to take over. If everyone were to become apathetic and not care, then it might be possible, but I don't see that happening. The beauty of the US government is that each person has the right to express their own opinions and can be totally within their rights. We can't be thrown into jail for our beliefs.

By itself none.  When combined with freedom of speech, and freedom to form an opposition you have an accountable government.  Of course a dictator/king/etc could be better if they truly acted in the best interests of the people, because sometimes that is different than the will of the people.  But history has shown they haven't often looked after much more than themselves, which is worse than the will of the people.\n\nDemocracy's biggest problem is patience.

one might be made to think so. democracy itself, is not all what others might want to adopt.for example, democracy exited long time ago in Africa before the west adopted it. democracy in Africa, was through the kings and chiefs. today in some parts of Africa, it still exits. African governments have adopted the western way of democracy, but does not work for them. so I personally, does not think so.\nit does not improve economical performances, but rather make people in power or in high offices to become more corrupt.
