>>7807095>How is it beneficial as a system of government?As I mentioned, specific Fascist policies are going to be tailor-made for the contingent situation within history, but in all cases the greatest benefit of a Fascist government is that it becomes immune from the paralysis and corruption that plagues democracy. As far back as Plato and Thomas Hobbes, reaching forward to Hans Hermann Hoppe and even James Madison, the architect of the US Constitution himself, democracy has been known to breed nothing but self-interested factionalism among a bureaucratic class selected for their mediocrity, a class whose only incentives lie in either a) for elected officials, doing whatever is popular among the (sadly but truthfully uninformed) masses right now in their present fad or craze in order to secure their next election, even if that means selling out a nation's future, because they simply won't be around and in office to be held responsible for it... and this isn't even touching the problem of lobbying and "campaign contributions", which have turned our democracies into auction houses. B) In the case of unelected bureaucrats, their incentives are such that they benefit most not from efficiency and solving problems, but from growing their departments and hiring new bureaucrats and prolonging problems and, above all, eating up more funding. This is how we've ended up with the massively bloated governments we have in the West today.
All of this combines with a legislature and executive that are, in the final analysis, toothless and indecisive, liable to do anything they can except make drastic decisions because rocking the boat never helps elections. All we'll ever get is a middle of the road lukewarm response- and that's to an enormous crisis. Forget about the economy, or infrastructure, or education. Democracy on the scale we have now is incapable of solving problems. 2/?
