If we are a republic and not a democracy, what exactly is a republic?

In our case: a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law

See attachment.

It will be the only thoroughly sufficient response in the thread.

Assuming that you're truly interested in the answer to your question and that your question is sincere, it shouldn't be much of a bother engaging in a semi-lengthy read.

If you can finish it, you'll be ahead of the curve the next time someone asks the question.

Personally, I'm never satisfied with any of the cookie-cutter answers to the question whenever it comes up.

You're welcome.

It's from my own stuff, so. It's clean...

We’re not a republic. We’re a kleptocracy run by a rapacious oligarchy.

Republic - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"A republic, based on the Latin phrase res publica ("public affair"), is a state in which political power rests with the public and their representatives—in contrast to a monarchy."

A Republic generally has to be democratic, to a certain extent. A normal person has to be able to get into power.

The US is a Republic because normal people get into power all the time, there is no monarch, there is no hereditary dictator.

Is China a Republic? You could argue yes and you could argue no.

A person may take the tests and go and become a politician and then may work their way up through the system.

Xi is the son of a politician, and a high level one at that, but not at the highest level. HuJinTao, the previous president was the son of a tea trader. His mother was a teacher. Both Xi and Hu's fathers were denounced during Mao's era.

So, are they members of the public? Difficult to say.

But China does have elections for the lowest people within the structure. Less than the USSR had, but people can vote for some person who has limited power within their community. And members of the public can choose to join the CCP.

But a Republic can be fully democratic with Proportional Representation, semi-democratic with FPTP and potentially with very limited democracy, as with China.

When will fail whites be able to relinquish belief in these silly fairytales?

We are an oligarchy, where money rules. Our political system is a sideshow. The oligarchs select the candidates. We vote for those candidates because there is no other choice.

that is one form of "democracy," of course.


in the roman republic that "voting class" was a hereditary class of equestrians, which really sounds more like an aristocracy doesn't it?

and sure, the athenian democracy could become a little restive if you send the fleet off to syracuse to be utterly sunk. i'd hardly call that "mob rule" after centuries of prosperity.

Uh...But what is a republic?

I'm not touching that. If you can't be bothered to state your own opinion then don't bother at all.

democracy is a herd of sheep voting to modify the wolf's diet.

We’re clearly the same.

We're not actually in that era. Could you possibly fast-forward a thousand years or so?
