    So could say that both suffer from a vulnerability. Both break eventually.

    Also, consider the attractiveness of dictatorship. I think that everybody would like to be a dictator. Who wants to share power? Not me. I want to be in control, of my forum, my project, my game.

      Dictatorship had a pretty clean run of several thousand years there. Sure, dynasties changed, but never the actual system.

      Also, consider the attractiveness of dictatorship. I think that everybody would like to be a dictator. Who wants to share power? Not me. I want to be in control, of my forum, my project, my game.

      So, my second paragraph kind of addresses that. It’s never actually about one person having the power, as a government system.

      One-person control over something, backed by externally imposed laws, is a completely different thing. You don’t have to worry about your forum members poisoning you and physically taking control of your server.

        Well the breaking here is the corruption. The 2 different flavors of that. Still ostensibly dictatorship or democracy but not.
