Benevolent authoritarianism, pragmatism, meritocracy, government regulated corporatism and stringent anti-corruption practices are what makes a country flourish.
Of course the only way to ruin every single one of the abovementioned things are human factors like gluttony, pride, envy and lust.
Personal gain through unlawful and immoral means has always been the downfall of civilizations.

Corporal punishment?
It's the course of empire anon. If a nation is too strong to be conquered from without, it will inevitably degrade from with, die, and be reborn as another nation with another set of values and principles.
That's why revolutions are what they are: just another rotation in a constant cycle.

Yeah, okay
A true meritocracy can't be biased positively or negatively for or against any demographic, the second it does it's not meritocratic.
>>70073644
The same way Hitler did; Constant propaganda, make useless dissidents disappear and raise nationalism and zero tolerance for corruption.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be opposition, but it should be done within the government and for both independent and other ministries to audit each other to check for discrepancies and ill-practices.
A dialogue should be open to the public as well as long as it is constructive criticism with a solution that the government think tank can research about.

Benevolent authoritarianism is a contradiction in terms. Power corrupts, and governments need to have as little of it as possible.

I agree with you, however there's a difference between a leader with everyone's interests at heart and what's best for the country.
Personal agenda has to be kept at a minimum.
Just look at Lee Kuan Yew and Gaddafi.

b-but then the screaming low IQ mobs won't be able to influence things with their implicit threats of violence and disorder. I mean, they can't actually contribute rational ideas and solutions. You're taking away the only thing they have to offer. That's unfair!

The nation needs to be able to survive and recover from a leader who is not merely incompetent but actively malevolent. Because such people will, sooner or later, come to power. There's no way to stop it. You have to pick the leader somehow. People can be easily led astray by some guy who talks big and tells them what they what they want to hear. Those people can be the electorate in a democracy, or the central party committee or what have you in an authoritarian state. Or some guy who once was benevolent can be corrupted by vanity and hubris and yes-men. If you rotate people in and out of power to avoid that, you have that many more chances that you'll make a mistake, and run into a ruthless careerist out for himself.
and once someone like that has power, its disastrous to the nation. The only solution is not to have an authoritarian government - have a government with few powers, so that someone evil who manages to take the reins can't do much.

>the only way is to have a government like the early American republic
The Singaporean model, and as emulated by Deng Xiaoping in China is working. It has other forms of checks and balances. The party system actually has similarities to the NSDAP but with anti-revisionist Marxian concepts thrown in. The hierarchy and succession is highly ordered, and the group keeps the individual party elite in check because everyone is vying for power. You will note, China is the only advanced nation that has EXECUTED corrupt bureaucrats and businessmen.
If their system is so bad, then you won't have to do anything, and it will collapse on its own. I think people will be waiting around 200 years from now claiming the system will fall apart any day now. Of course Americans are more likely to try to actively subvert and destroy illiberal political systems, no matter how much prosperity they bring rather than follow their own claim and let said system collapse under its own non-viability.
>>70078770
The point is they have to bat 1.000. They have to ensure that they get every single corrupt senior party member, and ensure that they never, ever pick a bad apple. Because if they let a single one through, it's game over, because all of a sudden a corrupt leader has the power to execute rivals. For corruption, ironically.
Will it fall apart tomorrow? Probably not. Will it fall apart someday? You bet, because no government can stay perfect forever. Out of all those people vying for power, one of them is going to win. Can you guarantee it will always, 100% of the time, be a pure and incorruptible person? Nope. And when a bad dictator does topple a nation over, it ain't pretty. Look at Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

The memory of the Cultural Revolution will have to wear off before any Chinese faction is willing to mass mobilize to try to crab national power again. Frankly, I think the American concept of checks and balances gives a false sense of security. Our system seemed thrive in an effectively monocultural consensus, and it's cracking under our new population. China has the benefit of homogeneity and high average IQ. These things are going to prove more deterministic than the particular political philosophy a state decides to officialize.

>>The memory of the Cultural Revolution will have to wear off before any Chinese faction is willing to mass mobilize to try to crab national power again.
It only took 60 years from the founding of the Soviet Union until the decay of the Brezhnev era in the 70s. Hell, they didn't need any mass mobilization, just internal politics among the folks at the top.
>>70080071
China is working a hell of a lot better than the Soviet Union. The people don't WANT change. They want stability, and the complete their infrastructure plans. Yes, one day people may change their minds, but right now there is almost no appetite for political change, any more than there is in Singapore--as if restructuring the political system will ever have much effect on anything anyway. They don't put as much faith in theory as westerners do.

They'll change their minds if (when) China's economy tanks. The whole bargain the Communist Party makes is that the people give up political rights in exchange for development and a rising standard of living. Once that stops, the Party's in trouble. They're already having to put down brushfires of labor unrest. You'll be exactly right until suddenly you aren't.

The Singapore model combines high economic freedom (higher than in the west), with strict social controls. The reason so many westerners, including jewish intellectuals hate it so much is because it contradicts basic models and assumptions about freedom that see social and economic liberty as inextricably linked. You're going to have to get used to the fact that liberal democracy is a cultural apparition of the west, and not a universal principal of humanity. I defend any system that works. And different peoples thrive under different systems.

The government doesn't arrest people for spreading political dissent.
Instead they make all these salty individuals go into bankruptcy by giving them a lawsuit for libel and defamation.
Inciting racial and religious hatred is considered sedition as racial and religious harmony is the only weak point in the system which may ultimately be its downfall.
Note that criticism and discussion of sensitive issues like race and religion are only brought forward by the Members of Parliament and the weekly religious forum chaired by the figurehead of the major religions in Singapore.
Of course these are kept in check by our secretive secret police, this ISD. Their AI to check the internet,texts and phonecalls are said to be one of the most advanced in the world with collaboration from ST Kinetics, an Israeli firm and a Japanese firm.

Libertarians are especially annoying with this assumption.
