When are we going to destroy this socialist government disguised as a Republic?

That would be futile were you to stop at destroying only the socialist part, and didn't destroy the government part as well, and compulsorily the annihilation of the entire professional career politician and bureaucrat vocations, and bureaucracies in general.

Whatever career politician government and bureaucracy you put in there, the result will eventually always be the same.

Exactly. The problem is that the people who should never, ever have power and control over others are the very people in power: those that seek power and control over others. It's an inherently fatal systemic flaw as far as I can tell.

"It's an inherently fatal systemic flaw as far as I can tell. "

Yes indeed, this is precisely correct! Your entire comment is bang-on correct, but I've only quoted your last sentence.

There's no repair possible for what is irreparable. Representational "democracy" has been the preferred form of government (preferred by the psychopathic banker-owners who install this kind of government everywhere) because it is John Perkins' Confessions of an Economic Hit Man writ large.

Representational "democracy" in a nutshell is this: it is far more difficult and inefficient defrauding all the people by dealing with them individually, and far more expensive bribing them all, whereas bribing, blackmailing, or bulldozing only a very few "key" individuals, individuals who are moreover the kind that seek power and control over others that you describe and whom are readily exploitable - that is, the kind that become politicians - is easy and relatively far cheaper.

Here, then, is the "democracy" the western world acclaims and exalts as its lustrous legacy and its singular genius that elevates it above the rest of civilization.

They sell it pretty good and The Framers did, too, but it was always set up to primarily benefit only a few, imo. It's arguably been totally compromised right from the start.

I strongly agree. However, I'm perhaps too cynical in that I tend not to view it as being compromised from the start so much as it was always intended and composed as a degenerate and crooked thing. At the same time, I can't help feeling that what the Founding Fathers envisaged with such high-mindedness, articulated with such sublime prose, and established with such high morals and benevolence, was indeed remarkable and irreproachably wholesome. But what their vision and their Constitution enshrined is not in any way, shape, form, or spirit the government that eventuated, alas.

Okay, we'll replace "socialist" with "fascist", but it doesn't change the fact that it must be destroyed, utterly, without mercy or compassion.

Exactly!

"Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism. It is, after all, the merger of government and the corporations.
