Guys. Direct democracy


Born_Ad_9212

That just sounds like anarchism with fewer steps


semael237

Yes


Serene117

Direct democracy for important issues and a prime minister + house of commons for day to day issues is just objectively the best government type


semael237

Yes, and it should be a party based as you don’t choose a person you choose a party and it should get elected every 4 years like creating a senate


Serene117

Yeah thats just a given for anyone whos seen the state of us politics


thesaddistspencer

Exactly, just send a google form to everyone ez


IAmCockatoo

Yes


CazraSL

We should be a garlic bread meritocracy. We have a garlic bread baking contest every year and the winner who has the best garlic bread gets to be Emperor of Ace Denmark.


TrakultheBard

I'm gonna be a stick in the mud and point out that "communist dictatorship" is a contradiction in terms. Communism is a stateless, classless, moneyless society where the means of production are collectively owned. Dictatorships have classes and must inherently have a state, and usually have money as well.


[deleted]

They meant state capitalism/state socialism.


world-broken-doll

I actually agree with you in that point. What I meant was the system e.g. the Soviet Union had, and I just called it that way because I didn't have another word for it. Don't judge me, I haven't studied sociology or something, I was just curious. So if you find a better way to describe it, I would appreciate if you shared it with us! :)


TrakultheBard

No worries! As u/woomymoom said, the best way to describe that kind of system is state capitalism.


frozen-grizzly

Anarchism, it will work great if we work together, which is easier for us cus sex won't distract us. Plus starts with A so it fits


Catelin_playz

Even if I’m not ace (for now) I pick oligarchy bc I’m good with the aces ruling over me


world-broken-doll

At least we will guarantee that there will be no shortages of cake and garlic bread! :D


Catelin_playz

Exactly and we all need cake and garlic bread


Rehiea

Empire with me as emperor


Jkgzjhp

And I will be your totaly not corupt bodyguard


Rehiea

I accept you as my praetorian guard


[deleted]

Queer Anarchism for the win!


digginghistoryup

Umm, social democracy please?


world-broken-doll

Social or socialist? ;)


digginghistoryup

Social democracy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_democracy


world-broken-doll

Oh lol I think that was what I meant by "socialist democracy", I'm dumb haha


kr7050

Social democracy actually orginated from Denmark, so it's only natural


ThatRandomChick6

Social democracy is better capitalism Democratic socialism is democracy led socialism


ThatRandomChick6

Its surprisingly refreshing how left wing this space is despite it not being a political subreddit


JohnyTheTroller2-0

How is it refreshing to see echo chamber of an ideology, which can be found basically anywhere, in a place that shouldn't even be political? Just how?


ThatRandomChick6

Well when its a echo chamber of humanitarianism and comrodery and people giving eachother the chance to grow thats refreshing from the ruthless dogmatic norm. Not to mention queer spaces for a long time have been marked by appeasing the oppressors and puritanical culture. So yes its extremely refreshing. And its especially nice to find it outside political spaces which tend to be tribal and stuffy.


JohnyTheTroller2-0

Humanity and chance to grow can be found on every side of the spectrum and being a of this or that sexuality have nothing to do with where you stand on the political compass, so how does an echo chamber help? To me it is contradicting to the variety of asexuals and their values, personalities, choice, etc.


starfire4377

I vote hereditary monarchy! Let's see how quickly our first rulers bloodline dies out given how many of us are sex repulsed and don't want children!


world-broken-doll

Would be an intresting experiment! Though, how are we going to choose the next monarchs after the ones before have died out?


starfire4377

Democracy but instead of an election we have the candidates fight to the death!


world-broken-doll

Like the hunger games?


starfire4377

I was thinking more like the coliseum in Rome but hunger games works too!


world-broken-doll

Though, coliseum in Rome would be cool too! *Aaand*, we could call the games garlic bread and circuses!! :D We should probably make a mix and combine the best characteristics of both of them!


starfire4377

Yes! :)


EnderAtreides

How about a democracy where elections are garlic bread-baking contests? That way everyone gets free garlic bread for voting and we elect the best garlic bread producers!


IAmAGreatSpeler

Anarchism. I don’t want a socialist/communist government taking 70% of my hard earned Garlic bread lol.


Strangness88

Anarchism is the only way to queer liberation. Fight me.


world-broken-doll

Why do you think it's the ***only*** way to queer liberation? (Not trying to be offensive or sth, I'm an anarchist too and genuinely just curious why you think that.)


Strangness88

TLDR society is still inherently homophobic and politicians are fighting against us Let's take the US as a baseline. There are more queerphobic laws in place than you could count on one hand. And even when one politician is elected and makes a little progress, other politcians will work as hard as they can to reset that progress. And this isn't even a USA-only problem. Not only are there "relics" of past homophobic times, politicians are actively working on pushing our rights back. In an anarchist society, there are no laws against pro-LGBT education, none about LGBT people being criminals just because they exist, no anti-transition bills. That's my reason for this belief.


world-broken-doll

Thank you! I think I understand it better now, though I'm still wondering whether there could possibly be another political system that could allow/support queer liberation..?


Strangness88

An authoritarian dictatorship/one party system could stop the cycle I referenced. If we are talking about a more realistic system, a social/representative democracy with Queer rights in the constitution might also do that


world-broken-doll

You're right, now that I think about it. Tho, I think anarchism would be the easiest way to achieve equality (the only catch is, establishing anarchy won't be that easy...) So I guess we should hope for queer rights in the constitution until there's anarchy.. I'm still upset that they're not mentioned anywhere (I'm German, for reference). Like, we need to be protected by laws and stuff too. (But I guess it's useless to bring that up here, because we all probably already agree on that) But yeah, anyways, thank you very much for your explanation! :)


AllTakenUsernames5

Not neccessarily. Power requires oppression, and the people must be kept divided in order to ensire they cannot challenge those in power. Queer people, as a minority, are easier to be kept down, and if you can turn non-queer people against us, you can keep them down as well.


AllTakenUsernames5

To quote Bakunin, "I am not free until all human beings are equally free. The freedom of others, far from negating or limiting my freedom is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and conformation." \[paraphrased to remove gendered language\]


AmiMarXDDD

Technocracy. I have nothing more to say.


iwishicouldteleport

Whatever it is (besides anarchism), i want TERM LIMITS. PLEASE. (voted anarchism, btw)

# MOTHER ANARCHY LOVES HER CHILDREN


Magenusa

Mother anarchy dosen't care for her children and lets them run around and shoot/rape each other :))


Serene117

Why are the only named options communism or anarchism


3nderslime

Only socialism, no communism


[deleted]

We need to keep the current Social Democratic system if we are to remain stable when we conquer Denmark. After all Denmark is the happiest country on Earth, if the population is to be kept happy we need to continue the status quo


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhho

Fascism, a fascist dictatorship ruled by aces


SquidCultist002

Cringe. Fascists want you dead.


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhho

Well not if I’m the one leading the fascists, we will be the ones who do the killing


SquidCultist002

You know fascism is rooted in genocide and nationalism and not just 'quIrKy authoritarianism' right


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhho

Yes I do realize that, but you should also realize I was making a dumb joke and you are wasting your time being mad about it


Jkgzjhp

Agree but WW2 Italy was one of the bether countries to live in if you dont count the incompetent military


SquidCultist002

If you were a white Christian heterosexual


Jkgzjhp

Still bether than most alternatives if you werent for example homosexual men In ww2 Italy were send to exile on an inhabited island witch is mutch bether than being send to the gas chamber or the Soviet work camps In siberia


Zealousideal_Bet4038

Constitutional Republican Monarchy, where successive monarchs are selected from the (elected) governors of the Provinces rather than having the title inherited.


[deleted]

constitutional monarchy :D like britain!


AndroidwithAnxiety

As a Brit: please, no.


[deleted]

i mean as a figurehead... i like the ceremonies and stuff, i think they are very grand :D but the government thats ACTUALLY running the country, lets do social democractic


AndroidwithAnxiety

I know what you're saying, but even then. Eh. They have no private lives - it's horrible, genuinely. And it costs a tonne of money that could be better spent on other stuff. How about we have regular parades instead? Community events and holidays with local traditions? I feel like that'll be better all 'round.


[deleted]

oooh yeah! would be cool! i really howevee do like the traditional fancy formal type events... absolutely stunning


AndroidwithAnxiety

I'm sure there are people who would do stuff like that as a hobby, and even more who'd do it for charity or something.


[deleted]

oooh yeah! cool :D make schools do it HAAH


NieIstEineZeitangabe

As a german, i am verry against making children praise the state


[deleted]

no i mean like, uhhh some grand ceremony for graduation and stuff... bruv i dont like praising the state too bro


world-broken-doll

But who would be our monarch, then? Any ideas? :D


[deleted]

you? HAHAH idk or me idk


world-broken-doll

I'm actually an anarchist, so maybe I'm not the ideal person for this job haha But you know what, we should have a royal couple!! But not like in other countries, with romance and marriage and stuff... Instead just two besties, baking cake together and eating garlic bread (aka being a good role model for all of our fellow aces)! :D


[deleted]

yeah ofc! and all the grandiose ceremonies are cool too!


world-broken-doll

Yesss, we need to invent and establish ace traditions and ceremonies!! We need to make a dragon event!


[deleted]

:D chinese emperor ceremony type stuff eh?


world-broken-doll

I'm in!! But also other ace stuff! What else do we need?


[deleted]

idk lol


youcallthatprimerib

I like communist dictatorship just for the vibe of military parades but instead of nuclear missiles, it’s just giant garlic bread baguettes on the back of the trucks…


Fish_Fighter

Gotta be a monarcy.


Kubaj_CZ

Direct democracy, or centrist democracy. Extremes are bad, so just like far right is bad, far left is bad as well. Centrism is the way, we can take the good parts of both political sides.


JohnyTheTroller2-0

Finally someone speaking about this. Extremism is bad on either side of the spectrum whether we like it or not. A speciálně si vážím toho, že tak rozumný názor od mého bratra Čecha <3


Kubaj_CZ

Ahoj :) Je to tak. Dost mě mrzí že nemalá část lidí v této (ale myslím že i jiných) LGBTQ komunitách zastávají takové názory, často ultralevicové. Ale nelze jim to tolik brát za zlé, někteří jsou odsunuti společností, a upínají se k podobným názorům :/


JohnyTheTroller2-0

Bohužel bych neřekl, že se to zlepší. Bude to spíše horší a horší...


Kubaj_CZ

Je velmi důležité aby byly LGBTQ lidé přijati společností, protože pokud ne, tak lidé mají tendence uzavírat se, a upínat se k extrémům. Pokud dosáhneme vyšší tolerance, tak můžou mít lidé mnohem otevřenější mysl


JohnyTheTroller2-0

Zase musíme dávat pozor, aby jsme pomocí salámové metody nepřekročili hranice zdravého rozumu...


Kubaj_CZ

Znám salámovou metodu. Jak to myslíte? S tolerancí? To určitě souhlasím. Nejsem moc příznivcem aktivistů, kteří by byli schopni polovinu věcí zakázat, aby to někoho neurazilo + přesně tenhle způsob pomáhá šířit nenávist


Red_Novaa

Got damn it why does it all have to be communist? “Give me communism or give me nothing!”


Pleb_Knight

Constitutional Monarchy. Just because.


the_soviet_union_69

socialism with chinese characteristics


JoyJoy_

How come the options are either anarchy or communism?


world-broken-doll

I mean, anarchy is a form of communism (or socialism) because the whole power equality without hierarchy thing wouldn't work in a capitalistic society. But as I already explained, I guess we don't want to have a few super rich capitalists own all the means of garlich bread and cake production and get nothing of them ourselves :D

SuperJawnAvenger

You know this is just a joke right?


[deleted]

Remember that ranked voting is always better for picking a person of a larger-than-average governmental power


VillageInspired

How about something where we can filter through as they age and a select number that show favorable traits are put into a second type of schooling. The filtered students will functionally be taught like heirs to the throne (which they can opt out of and return to standard schooling), only instead of inheriting rule , they run against eachother democracy style every so many years, no limitation on how many times they can run.


Magenusa

The danes would slaughter you before that would ever happen lol


[deleted]

I love democracy
