The nation was built on the principle of taking land away from the land owners and giving it to immigrants. And if the land owners didn't give up their land willingly, they were killed. Sorta reminds you of what we hear of in Africa - seems those Africans have learned their lessons from American history.
I am stating a "profound" belief that pure socialized democracy is one of the most evil types of government to be found upon the face of the earth. As the mob makes the rules via their opinionated declarations only. As the mood of the masses changes so the methodology of mandated governmental rule also must follow, thus there are no constants, only pragmatic evolving declarations of popular opinion. (sound familiar?) It always leads to the suicide of any nation that attempts such. An example might be, what if the popular opinion was presented that "environmental" disaster was just around the corner, produced only via the propaganda of mass media outlets, and the people bought into such propaganda despite the fact that over 70% of their fellow global competitors never attempted to follow such guidelines. The resulting blow to the state economy could have drastic implications on this "hypothetical" countries monetary system weakening to the point of collapse. ....ooops! BD
