Do republicans want to return to a Timocracy?

[Truthmatters]

what say you?

 

[occupied]

Yes, of course they do.

 

[Truthmatters]

Im kinda thinking that is where they plan to end up

One person's 'political' discussion is another person's mindless bullshit.

I wish you would.... kinda think. I've yet to see any evidence.

 

[JimBowie1958]

what say you?

Define the term, 'Timocracy'.

Do you really think that making up bullshit words and then asking people if they agree with it is persuasive or rational?

Really?

 

[Truthmatters]

Is it the end game ?

 

[Truthmatters]

Only land owners involved in government.

What it ends up is and attempt to keep down WHO can own land.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Yes, of course they do.

And you are afraid that a Timocracy will stop you from snorting draino and having sex with rabid squirrels?

Lol, ESADIAF.

Timocracy

I'm not familiar with that political or philosophical system, could the op define it, describe it's tenets, and provide evidence as to it's historical evolution?

 

[Baruch Menachem]

Now that was a word I had to look up.


That means you need to define your terms when you ask that (inane, dishonest, foolish, crazy) question

For those who are too lazy to check the dictionary..... It means you have to have a property qualification to vote.

So yes, this is just a bullshit thread meant to waste time.

Shoulda known.

a government in which love of honor is the ruling principle?
OK sure. Leaves you out of things, doesn't it?

 

[Truthmatters]

The republican party just did a big mess that resulted in many people losing their property.

It makes me think they may have this as their end game

Timocracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Constitutional theory defines a timocracy as either:
1.a state where only property owners may participate in government
2.a government in which love of honor is the ruling principle[1]

The more extreme forms of timocracy, where power derives from wealth rather than honor, may shift in their form and become a plutocracy where the wealthy and powerful use their power to entrench their wealth.

Actually it has 2 meanings
2. a government in which love of honor is the ruling principle

 

[JWBooth]

Given that BM has correctly defined the term, and it's use here is not another TM malaprop, I dunno about GOPers, but I have no problem with it.
