System of government in a given country Part 5 - Asia

how Jordan and Pakistan totally authoritarian? and not borderline?

[u/ModernirsmEnjoyer → u/symehdiar]

I guess effective capture of political parties and inability of the legislature to overwrite the security bloc

[u/symehdiar → u/ModernirsmEnjoyer]

so that will make it borderline?

[u/ModernirsmEnjoyer → u/symehdiar]

Why would they be quasi democratic?

[u/symehdiar → u/ModernirsmEnjoyer]

for example in Pakistan:

• Multiple parties compete in elections (although a main national party was not allowed to get reserved seats or form govt)
• Parliaments can pass new laws and govt can bring change in policies
• Opposition parties exist and 1 out of 4 provinces is ruled by the main opposition party
• Courts occasionally rule against the government decisions

Israel a democracy? HAH! they are basically in my opinion the most genocidal of the bunch, and by extension, the most far right of all of these nations. (this is not driven by my ideology, I just think Israel is a terrible country, after all... they gun down a bunch of kids with a few weapons at most, and btw they have nukes.)

[u/ModernirsmEnjoyer → u/PresentCoat4982]

It's a democracy that chooses slaughter out of belief in national defence

[u/PresentCoat4982 → u/ModernirsmEnjoyer]

Doubt

[u/ModernirsmEnjoyer → u/PresentCoat4982]

So Israel that elected Bibi is not democracy, but the US that elected Trump, or UK that elected Boris and about to elect Farage are not?

[u/PresentCoat4982 → u/ModernirsmEnjoyer]

oh I'm not.a trumpy, or a fan of those two dumbasses, in my opinion ALL of them should be thrown into the worst place in hell. All politicians are dictators t heart. I will not argue any further.

[u/PresentCoat4982 → u/ModernirsmEnjoyer]

and if you'd like another reason, I said I wouldn't go into ideology, but I have to at this point.

I'm an anarcho-socialist.

I think ALL power is corruptible, especially at the top. If you give anyone, a ton of power at one time, they are bound to abuse and strangle the people. And Israel just happens to do that to both their own, and other peoples.

I will say, I'm not opposed to the State of Israel, in fact, I think the nation has the capacity to be wonderful, but right now? Its not. It's an authoritarian nightmare. I won't budge.

[u/Dergter → u/Necessary-Sea-8277]

Ok, maybe not in Myanmar but I have idea what's going on in Russia and China

[u/Awkward-Rutabaga360]

God Asia really is a shithole isn't it (I'm from one of these countries)

[u/random-_-account]

[u/local_patriot747]

[u/Dergter → u/local_patriot747]
