authoritarian governments can actually be moree efficient than democracies if its lead by the right people

[blackpillednigga]

they are more stable and much faster in progress since they arent constantly competing with other parties for power. they also more likely to care for their nation as they cannot get power through lobbying but by proving themselves as capable of leading

 

[blackpillednigga]

though the drawback is that if its lead by the wrong people then its way worse than a democracy. which is why choosing successors must be done in a careful matter

Yes to both
I think Plato already came to that conclusion. He ranked 6 government types :
1 Good monarchy
2 Good oligarchy
3 Good democracy
4 Bad democracy
5 Bad oligarchy
6 Bad monarchy

It's the least effective but also the most inoffensive
Personally I see it as a good transition government between 2 good monarchies

Yes, this is a simple hierarchical and organizational fact. Authoritarian power structures operate closer to a business than they do a government. It's why entities like corporations have CEOs, who make decisions much like an autocrat, and are extremely efficient at achieving desired results. Only when they fuck up does "the board" come in and replace them. The singular will of one dominating authority figure will always supersede the conflicting wills of others with a lateral or shared power structure.

Whenever you're tempted (or whatever possesses you) to extol the virtues of democracy, remember that capitalist structures and bureaucracies don't allow equal say. In fact, there is no say for the majority of the corporation's members. McDonald's shift workers don't vote to select the C-suite employees (analogous to how ministers are appointed), nor do they have any input on the directions the company should take. And they (corporations) are extremely efficient compared to democratic governments. People often associate capitalism with democracy, but few understand this inherent philosophical conflict between the two.

Double edged sword, that too if I'm playing the devil's advocate. The workers suffer from their greed. The financial disaster in 2008 for example. I mean layoff in general which has gotten more rampant. Also, you will always have a large majority of lower-class workers to keep a system efficient for the higher-ups to benefit from it for the most part.
