I'm against both. Democracy is the way to go.

Totalitarianism - No I don't want to be controlled by government.  Sure US government is getting a little out of control with the things we are limited to, but it's better than total control over my life.

Anarchy - Totally against this one. No union of states or regions can survive without a central government. There will always be the bigger nation waiting to take them down and turn those citizens into poor peasants and slaves while the cruelty of the new corrupt dictatorship in power sweeps their once government free nation. Nope. Not for me thanks.

Depends on who the dictator is.

I pick neither.

"A free government is of the most energetic."

Meaning, a government with unfettered authority accomplishes the job of taking people's rights in a spirited fashion.

Fuck Republicans. Fuck Democrats. Fuck Anarchists.

Just keep the government out of my home and my business, and I'll be happy and participate in the democratic process. The be all and end all is the Constitution.

bah you guys are all so evasive.

the question is IF you HAD to choose between the two which would you rather have. i am also against both of these, but the question still stands.

Ok, fine. I'd kill myself and not have to deal with either. Does that answer your question buddy?

No, wait - we're supposed to choose between two concepts with no ideas of the circumstances surrounding either choice.

I assume then, seeing as our options are so general, we're allowed to fill in the pertinent details.

If that's the case, I choose anarchy.

I'd like to choose anarchy, because then, I could kill this weirdo with few consequences.

If it were Lacerda in charge, I'd choose Totalitarianism, mostly because I have a feeling that it'd be very similar to Anarchy.

If not, then I choose Anarchy.
