On good government

From what I have seen of life, I make the following assertions with regard to people in general:

1. Around 99.9% of people are fools. They are naive, gullible, easily led, easily believe a lie.

2. There are very few people who think for themselves. The vast majority are followers. Most follow the crowd, do whatever the crowd does. People copy others. They are afraid to be different. They want the support of the crowd.

3. The vast majority of people have very strong propensities toward vices and weaknesses of a great variety of types: laziness, pride, vanity, egoism, selfishness, avarice, dishonesty, deceit, duplicity, falseness, lawlessness, unjustness, jealousy, envy, ignorance, maliciousness, argumentativeness, strife, violence, lust, moral depravity, etc.

If one now takes the above three assertions as basic assumptions regarding human nature then it seems obvious to me that one can deduce the following law, a law about as sure as any law of physics:

One can devise no system of government that does not have great potential for foolishness, evil, wrong, and injustice.

Governments are organizations made up of people. You cannot create a good building from bad materials and you cannot create good organizations from bad people. Different forms of government (monarchies, democracies, oligarchies, etc.) may each have their own strengths and weaknesses, pros and cons, pluses and minuses, but you cannot expect anything that is anywhere near perfection from any form of government due to the basic nature of man.

It seems to me that if you want a government and a country where goodness, righteousness, and justice are at a maximum you must turn your attention to the moral character of the citizens of the country and to those factors that affect the general integrity and morality of the population. You need to turn here to religion. And you need to turn to the right religion. The right religion is Christianity (true New Testament Christianity). It is not Islam. It is not Buddhism. It is not Hinduism. It is true, real Christianity. And you need to focus on children and the family, on how children are raised and taught. Children are the future of the country. Children need to be raised in good, strong Christian families in an atmosphere of Christian outlooks and values. That is by no means multiculturalism and it is not diversity training. In their schooling children need to be strictly under the influence of Christian outlook, attitude, and value. Not atheistic/humanistic outlook, attitude, and value. If one were given the task of devising the very best way to destroy a country morally, one could not come up with a better formula than the one we have today — multicuturalism, diversity training, and school indoctrination in the outlooks of godless, liberal, leftist humanism.

I think one of the biggest enemies of Christianity today is modern psychiatry. It is very closely connected with atheistic, leftist outlook. And it is producing a whole lot of foolishness.

If one wants to have a good society one needs laws and practices that incentify good behavior and discourage bad behavior. In general, most people in making all of the many decisions they make in life simply consider all of their different options and pick the one that seems best to them. With many people selling drugs, prostituting themselves, or going on welfare may seem like their best option. A person may be induced to work long and hard if the incentive is there. With no incentive he won’t. Free enterprise/capitalism works because it provides the right incentives and communism doesn’t because of lack of the right incentives.
