minus-squareFrostbeard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-229 days agoWell. Thats an issue. You can only choose from people whom the organization has put up. Few people participate in organizations/parties. But you are free to make your own party and nominate who ever you like. So I don’t really agree with your statement. It’s easy to complain. How would you organize elections?
minus-squaremajster@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·29 days agoIt was a bit of tongue in cheek comment…but I agree that a mere possibility of change can restrain the rulers. Those socialist systems fell apart when people had option to disagree.
