Democracy or Dictator ship ?

[shaun98]

I would still choose democracy over dictatorship, as at least citizens will still have some form of freedom. However, as far as the development of a country goes, I think it is entirely based upon the support the people give the government and whether or not the government is clean enough to develop parts of the country.

Democracy is good to everybody but some of the time the people make a rebel against the government because of being free. This two kinds of leadership is good to mix in one.

Small riots and strikes that you see almost every week in Europe keep governments accountable for their decisions and add some level of political competition. Without them you just postpone and accumulate problems, so after decade or two you will get so large unrests/revolution/civil war that will throw back your country in development many years back. Nazi Germany, USSR, Libya, Syria, Iraq are good examples.

I choose to live in a country where I am free but still listens to the law. I'm in between the two, actually. Too much democracy will bring the country to ruins and too much dictatorship will also do that in my opinion. We need both.

What kind of question is this? A person with maximum power is always going to eventually lead to a mad man taking a hold of that power, due to their much more motivated need to control others.

The vast majority of everyday people are assholes, and the rare kind, self sacrificing person that cares for all is less than 1 percent. That's why dividing power similar to how the US does is so much more important.

Definitely democracy. Dictatorship can bring order but the cost of it is really high. No one could oppose the administration and there are no checks and balances. Democracy on the other hand, provides an array of citizen involvement and transparency. Democracy also helps the minority in representation.

For me it's upon the situation because if many people sorrounded by increasing criminals,corruption,illegal drugs,human trafficking and etc. that's why we declare Dictatorship.And for Democracy that if many people can't speak their rights,and the government was abusive their powers and that's the possible way to declare Democracy.

If we talk about the welfare both types of Government has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let's site one of the most common advantages of a Democratic Government. People have the right to elect their leader, why it became an advantage? Simple, People has the power or the freedom to choose who is fit for the position and the citizen can voice out there own expression as long as it doesn't violate any law. The disadvantage of it is that some politicians tend to sugarcoat every word they say, all their promises are just a way of selling their names out. In addition, A democratic government is prone to corruption (saying that not only the head of the state but also it's Government body).

For Dictatorship, The head of the state has the total control of everything which is quite not good but if we are to look at the bright side. A country that has a Dictator is far more civilized than other form government. The Dictator sites everything he/she sees that are good and remove what is bad. Though it is also prone to corruption but limited unlike at the Democratic type. The disadvantage of it is that People has a limited right especially about their freedom from expression and speech. Which is quite unfair for the citizen of the country.

If you are to ask, I still choose to live in a Democratic Country. Since I can maximize my freedom (legally) rather than to be a slave of my own country.

If we look at the history some countries got maximum development in Dictator ship while some got maximum development in democratic government. Every system has it's own flaws and benefits. What do you like ? if we talk about the welfare of general people.

in my country, we have democracy government and that is very good for the people because we are the one who choose who has a power that can rule and make our country a better place despite of all problems this country has.

I am not sure on this, i'm on the 50-50 opinion,because as we can in the world now who has democracy, people don't really benefit the advantage of true democracy. On the other hand, dictatorship depends on the one who leads. I guess it really depends on the conscience of a person.

For me Democracy so people is free for voting their leader and they free to expreess there complaint in there leader while in dictator ship leader is the commander and nothing will not break his/her rules for the sake of his country.

[richshopgh]

Democracy is the best because it allows anybody to participate freely in governance by contributing but some dictatorship don't want to citizen to share ideas and normally imprisoned and do bad things to people who criticize them

[JCJr222]

I prefer democracy over dictatorship. Absolute power without check can lead to abuse, so I'm against dictatorship. But beware there were no nation that practice 100% democracy mostly are mix.  I prefer 50% democracy and 50% socialist.

[nagatraju]

I don't like dictatorship. I believe that she does not lead to anything good. People should have the right to choose. They don't must submit to only one person. It's horrible! I support democracy.

[BADecker]

The captain is essentially a dictator on his ship. But if he is smart, he will often let the democratic majority help with the decisions. Or he might wind up with a "Mutiny on the Bounty" scenario.

[CryptoKyddie]

Out of the two at face value: democracy everytime. I cant think of many dictators that actually help people or anyone other than themselves after some time in office. Lots of corruption and abuse of power. Democracy doesnt always get it right either, just look at the brexit referendum.

[Stegobit]

Though it is also prone to corruption but limited unlike at the Democratic type.

Look at modern Russia. Putin is a dictator, but corruption level nevertheless is one of the highest in the world!
We need more political competition and non-government organizations to fight corruption, not the dictatorship!

On the other hand, dictatorship depends on the one who leads. I guess it really depends on the conscience of a person.

Even smart dictator will die and most likely successor won't be good enough, so country will roll back in development.

I still prefer democracy over dictatorship. Democratic government has more advantages like you have the freedom to do things you want that are according to law of course. Likewise, you can express yourself freely and go anywhere you want. Democracy is for the people, by the people and of the people. The dicisions of the government leaders still rely on the people.

[noeycoon]

It depends. What works for some is not applicable to other.
