pawel7777, well, it seems that all republics should be considered as optimized versions of the direct democracy... Just like variations of monarchical systems are optimized versions of absolute monarchy with direct rule. By "optimized" I mean optimized in terms of scalability.

Direct democracy has been added.
In my opinion, is a kind of opposite for absolute monarchy with direct rule. It has the same scalability issues and very difficult to implement for the big states. But could be sustainable for city state and was used in the past... In the Republic of Novgorod, for example.

It is all Putin's propaganda
Right, just use universal answer for any message. Time is money, no need to spend any time for argumentation.  Look at my previous post (4 videos)... There are many answers. Thanks for suggestion but I would prefer to listen music instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LSHF73w_eo |

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/china-city-chief-accused-of-blowing-up-hotel-project-over-fengshui-2014-08-25The former party chief of the eastern Chinese city of Huainan, removed from office earlier this month, reportedly ordered the destruction of a hotel construction site amid concern that it would create negative spiritual energy toward his office. The official, Fang Xiping, was investigated for "serious violations" of party disciplines, according to a Communist Party statement released recently. While the statement didn't offer details of Fang's offenses, a report Sunday by the government-run The Paper news website said Fang had ordered the destruction of the partially constructed buildings of what would have been the municipality's first five-star hotel. The report said Fang was possibly motivated by fear of a negative fengshui impact on his office, located just north of the site. Fengshui, China's traditional art of geomancy, believes the arrangement of everything from buildings to trees to furniture can affect people's well-being. The report said Fang may have also been jealous that the hotel project would be seen as his predecessor's achievement. While it quoted the local government as saying that the "termination" of the hotel's construction was at the behest of investors, it also cited a would-be manager at the hotel as rebutting the claim, noting that the destruction of the site resulting in a large loss. WTF???  This reason is just brilliant, never seen anything like that.

I'm French, and they speak English with a French accent (which is kind of similar to the Slavic accent in English). Pashol Nahui Poroshenko!

How come you say 'democracy' isn't a political system but 'monarchy' is?
Please don't confuse "democracy" as the source of decision-making power with definition of "democracy" by some ideologies. Their "democracy" could mean liberal, socialist, roman-like or even theocratic republic. In this terms all republics would be "democracy", because even the greek word Δημοκρατία itself is translated as "republic". Yes, the monarch could be democratically elected by the people, but if he's elected for a set period of time, than the people hold the power (making him just a representative), if he's elected indefinitely, then you no longer have democracy.
Monarch is able to use democratic methods to optimize decision making processes, he can delegate some power to democratically elected institutions. See Saudi Arabia or Roman Empire for example... We have an absolute monarchy in these cases but municipal bodies and consultative legislatures are elected by the people. It's still an absolute monarchy because monarch always has the power to dissolve any governmental body and able to interfere in its actions if he wishes. It's almost impossible to list every possible system, it's just too complex. But you should definitely add 'Anarchy' option to it  I would agree with that, but we don't need all 200+ possible political systems because the most of them are dead for a long time. Anarchy is an interesting addition |

What political system does North Korea have? Is that an example of Absolute monarchy with direct rule? I think absolute monarchy with direct rule is great if you are the one who rule, but shit if you are being ruled. It is a dream of most leaders but it is very hard to achieve since have to imprison or kill a lot of opposition.
DPRK was declared as socialist republic, but they have abandoned the principles of democratic centralism right from the beginning and implemented feudal-style absolute monarchy instead... So it's a socialist republic according to constitution but de facto it's an absolute monarchy. There are elected regional and high legislatures along with other government bodies which have restricted set of powers, so this system could be classified as "Absolute monarchy with legislatures and other governmental bodies". Actually I don't think that it's possible to implement a pure form of absolute monarchy with direct rule for something more complex than city state. Monarch simply won't be able to handle decision-making processes and it will lead to inevitable collapse. But it was quite popular political system in the past, when states were very small. |

I haven't voted yet. I guess I should choose "Liberal republic" but this would need more clarification, as the range of possibles within the definition of a liberal republic is just too great.
Welcome to thread Liberal republic is a republic which has proclaimed ideas of liberalism as the core foundation and reason of its existance. This could be defined by constitution, declaration of independence or another charter document. It seems strange nowadays but some liberal republics had no constitution. Speaking about liberal republics, there is an interesting reading: http://belfercenter.ksg.harvard.edu/files/fischer.pdfP.S. I agree that these voting options are not so simple. This was made intentionally in order to get more precise figures of political preference. |

From interview with DPR prime minister: - Mr. Zakharchenko, why did you decide to perform this parade? Did you want to send some kind of message to Kiev? - As you know, Mr. Poroshenko said that there will be military parade in Donetsk at the day of independence. He said that there will be his tanks and troops in the center of city. As you can see, almost all happened as he have said, he didn't lied. There are his tanks and troops in the center of city. It seems that Zakharchenko has PhD in Trolling. |

Monitoring is senseless wasting of taxpayer's money, such kind of issues should be handled only if it's neccessary... Ie if there is a complaint which was sent to the prosecutor's office.
By the way, is there any definition of "hate speech" according to fed?

Я этот текст не писал, увольте. Он сгенерирован скриптом из словарика либераста и набора шаблонов синтаксических конструкций. Впрочем, по качеству он ничем не уступает тому что в заглавном посте, а времени на генерацию затрачено несравнимо меньше. Алику пора с ламп и ферритовой памяти перейти хотя бы на транзисторы, это несравнимо ускорит процесс написания статей. |

Whatever happens, Ukraine will no longer be a singular country once this is over.
Repeat the propaganda 1000 times and it becomes true? Mars violates Earth's borders only a tiny little bit more each day. Finally, there are Martian battle tripods and troops, but no-one notices because it's only 0.01% worse than the previous day. Similarly, if the percentage of people who believe that "Earth will disintegrate" grows by just 1% each day, eventually the percentage is so overwhelming that the lies become true, simply because they've all lost hope of working together and co-operating peacefully to build a better world.    |

Why the fuck haven't you put Direct Democracy or City States in the poll?
It doesn't make a sense because "democracy" or "city state" aren't the political systems. Direct or representative democracy is nothing more than a tool, which could be used in any political system, even in absolute monarchy... Municipal bodies of the Saudi Arabia are democratically elected, for example. |

If all goes well, Mariupol may be liberated in the next 48 hours: oligarch batallions are in complete disarray and retreat along the whole southern frontline giving only sporadic resistance. On the other side, Kiev has just launched several attacks north and north-east of Donetsk and this can create a problem for rebels because their best units are being engaged elsewhere.
Mariupol was occupied by "battalions" since the end of spring... This could be some kind of trap, because it seems too easy. |
