Politics Should be up to the powerful Rich Leaders

A politically free people is a happy people. A politically opressed people is a miserable one. And happy people have a tendancy to be more productive, and strive to become more than the sum of their parts. Scared people will do only what is required of them for fear of doing something wrong. Your reasoning is flawed, and that is not counting the various reasons why political freedom should be a universal human right.

I must disagree. Not only due to the productivity of free to oppressed, and the benefits of pleased people to miserable ones as Mattikistan has already mentiong but also because people should have atleast some say within their lives. People should not be dragged around like simple live stock, slaves, or serfs. People are not animals and shouldn't be treated like so.

I disagrees with the comments made by the Rogue soviet union. My thoughts are exactly in line with that of Neo-Soviet Russia. Oppression never was a good tool to rule with.

A Nation that Thinks it's politically free is the easiest to control. due mainly to the fact you can hide behind any number of lacky's and whenever people feel strongly about somthing you can let them have a useless vote that you'd take no notice of and say thats what the people chose. Not that I do that, an honest Dictatorship for me.

"Well who in Chivikistan ought to be ruling, then?" Asked one Chivikistani. "There is nobody richer than anyone else. I am confused!"
"I think the term Rich must mean something else, in this context, you see, it has an upper-case R!"
"Good point, comrade! Do you suppose it somehow keeps the term 'powerful leaders' from being so redundant?"
In the end, nobody cared.
