What would be a better type of government?

'We ought to consider what is the end of government, before we determine which is the best form.'

John Adams

'Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure.'

Well, Finland is a social-democracy, rather than a truly socialist state.

The Soviet Union gave full socialism a shot, but that quickly devolved into oligarchy, due to the decisions of government being made by the same set of hands as the decisions of what is to be produce. it is quite obvious that any government that tries to mimic that model will have similar results for civil liberties, and economic freedom. This is the trouble with concentrations of power in the hands of a few--a politburo--regardless of what name it goes by.

in our constitutional system there are checks and balances, one of which is our Judicial Branch. The unfortunate turn for our system is that this branch has been corrupted by those who hate democracy--or what our founding fathers called republicanism. The father of our constitution described how such a government ought to operate;

'The great object should be to combat the evil: 1. By establishing a political equality among all. 2. By withholding unnecessary opportunities from a few, to increase the inequality of property, by an immoderate, and especially an unmerited, accumulation of riches. 3. By the silent operation of laws, which, without violating the rights of property, reduce extreme wealth towards a state of mediocrity, and raise extreme indigence towards a state of comfort. 4. By abstaining from measures which operate differently on different interests, and particularly such as favor one interest at the expence of another. 5. By making one party a check on the other, so far as the existence of parties cannot be prevented, nor their views accommodated. If this is not the language of reason, it is that of republicanism." --James Madison; from 'Parties' (1792)

I have no doubt that if the citizenry were enlightened enough to only elect those who held such truly American beliefs, we could have a republic indeed

Go back to our republic. Go back to the constitution. Have elected officials that are in touch with the people. Abolish most of the federal laws and the IRS. Go back to the USA being a voluntary union of sovereign states.

The Federal Governments' only role would be maintaining the military (no more bases everywhere though), printing money (end the Federal Reserve though) and that's it. Basically.

The best system is a federalist republic, for the US. As for finland, I have no idea, but if it is made of states with different characteristics and features, that would be an argument for them as well. A federal government can do things the states could not do alone, but should stand back and allow the states to do their jobs well.

We already have the greatest form of government ever designed by the human hand called the Constitution. We just need to follow it.

A Constitutional one

A government based upon the laws dictated by the US Consitution is the only real solutioon so long as the liberals would let it be

It's true. A strict adherence to the constitution would be the best bet.

The best system for the US would be a system of anarchy. Watch videos from these 3 channels that explains what anarchism actually means.

National Socialism is the only form of government that works for nation and preserves the racial integrity of a nation. Multicult democracy like the US will destroy itself.
