An extremely authoritarian government can protect our liberties better than a free one, beefy. Doesn't that make sense to you?
In a Brave New World the individual's day is planned for him, so no. I see no problem in having an authoritarian government that preserves civil liberties.

But your dopey plan is a pipe dream against human nature as much as communism. You would HAVE to program people like slaves in order for your dopey idea to work, which would mean pulling out your guns and putting it in people's faces.
Fascism is for guys like Watermark, circa 2003. Prepubescent pimplenecked idealists who have no concept of the real world.

No, you don't. People managed to survive for thousands of years without democracy, and now with the reforms to society that democracy has brought they can return to a strong government.
As slaves and masters, which is to what you'd return them.
Unless you view, as I do, Democracy as a necessary tool in the evolution of humanity. However, as all tools do, it has served its purpose and it is now time to continue on to a new stage in Society.
It was the rejection of "strong government" that has given us our liberties. Outside of spreading that liberty equally, democracy has made few worthwhile reforms.
Your views are outside of reality and you would return to the old stage of slave and master.
It is through suffrage that liberty has been achieved, not necessarily through "weak government".
Suffrage, however, has outlived its purpose. Besides, the populace isn't interested in voting. The voting turn-out year after year is pathetic. What people care about is being left alone, and the government can do whatever it wants as long as it doesn't infringe on their rights.
Not really. All that is necessary is to organise the new government so that it would be difficult for a single individual to take advantage.
The restraint of government was achieved through suffrage, and that is plain to see.Nope, it was the restraint of government that brought liberty and it is the breaking of those restraints that serve as liberty's greatest threat. Suffrage spread liberty to all.
No one is going to take anyone's property for the glory of the nation. Just offer incentives for the proper use of that property (tax cuts and the like).Fascist policies infringe on individual rights, retard. Somebody taking one's property for the glory of the nation is an infringment of rights.
