My time has come. Do not worry, shortstacks. I will lead us to a glorious new future of prosperity, freedom, and ceiling fans that by regulation must be at least 9 feet from the ground for safety reasons.
Boban seems like a nice fellow, so I could get behind this
I've come around to vanguadism. Have a party of professional brainworms people who understand politics, and trust them to gatekeep access to government positions only to people who demonstrate an understanding of politics and maybe competency in their field. Idk how else you could do it and actually maintain ideological continuity in a government, and i don't know how you avoid regulatory captue and nepotism without an ideologically coherent group that has the power to keep compromised people from power.
Altnerately, sortition gang.
Every day i think Zhdanov had more of a point. Enforcing ideological purity has a heavy cost, but if you don't the lanyards get in and ruin everything.
The first prerequisite must be that they're a committed communist.
In an AES country, that everyone running for a position in the government has to have served a minimum amount of time in every previous position. I'm pretty sure that's just how the soviets worked.
giant hog
The prophecy has been fulfilled.
All Ivy League alumni are sent to the Alaskan wilderness or Florida farms to pick orange for 5 years before being eligible to join politics
Not be old as dirt
Yeah hard limit of 65 years old on all elected positions. The most important ones should be under 55.
You shouldn't be able to do a wild thing and then die before you see the consequences. It's like an abstract form of age based terrorism. Strapping on the suicide vest of an about-to-be-clotted brain and driving into somebody else's future welfare cackling like the cryptkeeper. Shit sucks.
“You don’t order food for the table right before you have to leave”
That's a fantastic way of putting it in polite discussion. Mind if I borrow it? It'll probably go over better than my cryptkeeper bit.
Oh for sure, I took it from some standup comedian. I want to say it was Ryan Hamilton’s Happy Face but I’m very unsure
I think there's definitely an important place for both elder statespeople and representatives of older generations. That place is well away from the day to day running of government.
They should be able to ring the bell on one of those carnival hammer games, answer a series of cryptic riddles, and be up to date on One Piece. Thus proving strength, wisdom, and determination respectively.
Let's bring the imperial examinations for the Chinese bureaucracy to the west. You wanna be some high powered bureaucrat? Ok go study for 20 years and don't fuck up
i think our leaders should be able to wrestle an adult african elephant to the ground
They should have shown to have done stuff, like actually helping people or like doing things in the past that helped communities. Instead of just useless talk.
No more than three weeks to live.
they should be biased in my favor
