There is nothing new about this system. The workings of it are essentially the same as you will find in Plato’s Republic, which is basically a system of ant-like Communism led by wise, detached, enlightened “philosopher-kings”. As with everything else in politics, it all comes down to Plato against Aristotle – and, at an even more fundamental level, Satan versus God. It’s really that straightforward. Doesn’t matter what you call it or who is in charge. The results are always and everywhere the same.

Plato apparently had no capacity to believe that his “enlightened philosopher-kings” might have their own interests and selfish motivations. That was the fatal flaw in his idea.

As Dawn points out above, and as I’ve noted a number of times in these pages, the only way that you get a working and stable political system is if the leadership have the same interests and “skin in the game” as the ordinary people. Then, and ONLY then, does a stable political order emerge.

Ironically, Israel was precisely such a country for a long time. The leadership came through the same tests and trials that the ordinary people did. Today, of course, that is no longer the case.

There is no way to avoid the long-run disintegration and collapse of a system made by men, for men. Not possible. One way or another, the interests of the governors and the governed always diverge. All one can hope to do is to try to design a system that won’t collapse within three generations.

By that measure, Israel’s political system isn’t doing well. Four elections in two years – that’s a pretty dysfunctional system close to collapse.

I’m not creative enough for this task, but it should be something your average normie can grasp and which cuts them deeply, along the lines of “cuckservative” and “NPC.”
