Ireland, Wales, Cornwall and Scotland should be granted full independence and England should be divided up in several smaller countries all under a peacekeeping force.

    Putting aside that bourgeois democracies are not democracies, term limits are the weirdest thing. If the people want someone to be leader, they should be leader. They get easily cast aside when somebody who really wants the reins of power gets it, so it’s not an impediment to that. The only thing it does is stem radical change from taking charge for too long. It’s a conservative concept.

      Term limits were invented by ancient Greeks and Romans for the purpose of reducing infighting for the offices among the members of ruling class. Note how bourgeois historians are presenting ancient Athens in V century BCE as the classic example of democracy, while even if we ignore how classist that democracy was, it was explicitly a period when one person (Pericles) basically ruled as informal dictator and turned Delian League into actual empire.
