Communism.  It's been a smashing success everywhere its been implemented.  Eastern Europe, Soviet Russia, Cuba, North Korea and Vietnam, and many many more.  All great successes.

Problem I have with democracy is that it's the tyranny of the majority of the minority.

I think the US, for the most part, has it right. We have 50 states, each is sovereign. All must follow federal law, but beyond that each state can make its own laws. And with the electoral system for presidential elections, this also gives the minority some power. State may be small, but with races as tight as 2004 was, the minority can make a huge difference.

And if you dont like one state, you can go to another with an entirely different set of laws.

In general Democracy. However, that’s not always an option and sometimes you gotta go thru a lot of crap before a democracy has a chance to be established.

The states aren't really sovereign any more though. Look at California, they legalized pot for medical purposes but the DEA is still down there busting the people growing it.

The law legalizes getting it, not creating it. The way the bill was set up has caused a debate between the state and feds as to wether it conflicts with federal law or not.

If fedral law overides the state's laws then the state isn't really sovereign.

Democracy lasts for about 300 years give or take then corruption and too much government interference starts to destroy things, democracy breaks down over time.

Well we would all say democracy because thats all we and our parents and grandparents have known for the most part.

I wonder if people in Germany were actually unhappy between 33-39 the pre-war Nazi years.

That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. Federal law always overrides states law. That's the way it was set up, or else we wouldnt need a federal government. State's are sovereign in that they can make any law that does not contradict federal law, we are United (AKA United States) In that we all obey Federal Law and enjoy the benefits of the Federal government.

Really the dumbest thing, you havent been around much have you.
So the states aren't sovereign. It's a good idea to know what the word means.

sovereign- autonomous: (of political bodies) not controlled by outside forces; "an autonomous judiciary"; "a sovereign state"

the fedral government is an outside force.
