Hey Uma. Do you guys support dictatorship? You should. Democracy is fragile. Here is my opinion…
I know this is totally going to sound like a terrible suggestion, but from a point of perspective, may I suggest you read through Mein Kampf?
No, I do not advocate Nazism in any way shape or form. Hitler does though lay out his opinion on why a dictatorship is the superior form of government.
Again, I do not advocate Nazism. I just want to make that clear. The book is full of hate and vitriol and is basically the rantings of a very evil person, but one that did have some pretty clear ideas on dictatorship.
A history of the first hundred years of Imperial Rome is probably the best single answer to your question. The reign of Augustus was a golden age for Rome. The next emperor, Tiberius, was a vile man with very strange tastes, but he handled the empire well. However, then you got Caligula.
Tiberius left the Imperial Treasury very full. Caligula squandered it all, and that was the least of his excesses. It only took three years for the Pretorian Guard to get fed up with him.
After Caligula was assassinated, Claudius became emperor. He wasn’t as good an administrator as either Augustus or Tiberius, and later in life he tended a bit to the absent minded. Even so, the empire did well under him.
But then there was Nero, another monster who was even worse than Caligula. Eventually the Pretorian Guard assassinated him, too.
Determining who the next Emperor should be required a civil war. AD 69 is known to history as the “Year of 4 Emperors”.
It’s been said that a benevolent dictatorship is the best of all governmental forms. The problem is that a benevolent dictatorship can very easily become a malevolent dictatorship, which is the worst of all governmental forms. Early Imperial Rome had both.
And Rome also suffered from another fundamental problem of dictatorships: uncertain succession. Dynastic succession doesn’t necessarily yield consistently good leadership, and there’s always the problem of disputed succession and cases where there is no heir at all.
You may not know it Uma used to be a dictatorship. DO you know the result? We have videos showing our greatest moment. The Battle of Mammoth
What do you think? You can see acp being crushed. Uma winning you know what form of government uma was back then?
Uma was built on an empire GO BACK TO IT.
