The U.S. Government is controlled evily by Israel and that's why alot of Americans are pissed off, and since ISrael contol's it, they caused 9/11 just to show that IRaq did it while Iraq DOESNT even have W.M.D

1-Anarchism can be social (in the extreme left) or individualist (in the extreme right). In Anarchy humans are expected to behave like perfect beings with no need of law or rules.2-There are two basic forms of governance: Monarchism and Republic, the latter being just the absence of monarchs of any type. There are many forms of republics, e.g., plutocratic, theocratic, etc., and democracy. A democracy is a republic as a chair is furniture. America is a constitutional democratic republic.

I hate how Americans think we are a Democracy and other people.I hear people from Europe calling us a Democracy.

All governments descend into Oligarchy because the people become so damn complacent. Whether it be Monarchy, Republic, or Democracy, one thing is for certain. The people are going to have their goddamn television.

@MrSquaky They turn into a democracy if they ignore the law. Just like politicians today.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions,

@MrSquaky I'm not sure if you live in the United States but it is a perfect example of a republic slowly turning into a democracy. Under our country's condition as of now this notion is disturbing.

@K1ller30 The roman empire was a Republic and with a Republic the goverment leaders gain power over time leading into a Oligarchy, there is no way a Republic can turn into a Democracy because the people are limited by law, as for the goverment and law enforcers... they will grow overtime and soon become an Oligarchy because they are not limited by the law for they enforce it.

@MrSquaky You're so wrong. A republic won't lead to oligarchy! A republic that remains unchecked may lead to a complete democracy which THEN will lead to oligarchy.
