Communism is better than democracy for several reasons.

For starters, lets look at why democracy is bad.

Firstly, democracy is often associated with capitalism. Capitalism causes lots of economic distortion in the classes, and can become unfair to the lower classes.

Secondly, democracies are easy to manipulate by those with power. For example, lobbyists in America have manipulated the American system with their poop to give themselves unfair advantages that may not be necessary to the people (look at seatbelt laws, something the government should not enforce). However, power does not only come from poop. If it tried enough, China could march it's citizens into America, eventually achieve a majority, and America would become an extension of China.

Next, there is the issue of unsure leadership. Often times, and as a result of a capitalist system, politicians become accustomed to lying and cheating to get ahead. Now, suppose someone is installed in office who has a hidden agenda. We're not really ever sure what that person is doing: are they funded by lobbyists? Are they a communist representative trying to take over the democratic government? Just who are they, for certain? We have no way of knowing, as we would if it were a communist system. How? I'll show you, so lets talk about why communism is good.

To further proove my last point, I'd like to point out that communist leaders have no reason to hide their agendas from the public. There is nothing that the public can do about it, as the leaders most probably already have a very strong system in place to protect themselves. QED

Secondly, communism is good because it treats all its lesser citizens as equals. Everyone is offered the same health care, the same everything. Citizens don't have to worry about fighting to get ahead economically, because that concept doesnt even exist.

Communism is also good, because according to Plato's Republic the vast majority of the population isnt smart enough to make political decisions any way. While that may seem cruel to deny people the chance to decide, its really just lifting an extra burden of peoples minds. And, to be honest, looking at voter turnout in America, how many citizens want to participate in government any way?

Lastly, communism is powerful. In democracy/capitalism everything is going in all totally crazy directions and there is really slow progress. However, with communism the government can dictate that the entire country put all its resources in one direction and extreme amounts of progress can be made. Some may say this is dangerous, however but with the most intelligent leader ship, you can be garunteed that what they're doing is right.

Arguing against beliefs is one of my favorite things to do. It's surprising how much you can learn putting yourself in someone else's place.

Yes. In democratic countries like the United States, the people have a say. In countries ruled by a dictator, the government has the say.

Democracy is better than Dictatorship.

Because very many dictators have destroyed theirs countries; it is said by a Pakistani news reporter that when marshal law is declared a country goes back five years in its development and economy.

It could also be said that it is not, because in the American style of democracy people elect representatives, so they do not have a direct vote on many things. Also in dictatorships, there is a minimal bureaucracy, so whatever is done, happens much faster than when voting.

Democracy is better because you are free to do whatever you want within a country! examples are: Canada, The United States of America, Sweden, most of the Caribbean, and most of the world. Dictatorship, when you live under the rules of a leader and are not free to do whatever you want, and if you break or even bend the rules can have very serious consequences such as being killed, fingers chopped off, or even raped! Examples are: Russia, Some parts of the Caribbean, Known by almost everyone Iraq and Afghanistan. As you can see democracy is better than dictatorship because your free to do whatever you want! Canada and the USA are one of the beat places to live! (:

Democracy's ineffectiveness is what makes it better than other forms of government.

Thomas Jefferson said that the people had two groups the people needed to fear; criminals and the government. He goal with the Constitution was to chain down the second of the two. If a government is too effective it will rise up and crush it's people, grinding them up and spitting them out like rendered cattle at a pet food factory.

It is not. A republic is better. The United States of America is supposed to be a republic, not a democracy. That's why when you pledge allegiance to the flag you pledge allegiance "to the REPUBLIC for which it stands".

Democratic government has one particularly important advantage as compared to other forms of government, which is that if the public is not happy with their government, they are free to elect a new one. Elections do not have to involve violence; nobody needs to die, you just need to cast your ballot. In non-democratic systems, when the public is not happy with their government, they usually have no recourse other than violent revolution, and lots of people get killed (see, for example, what is currently happening in Syria, as I type, July 2012).

Its supposed to be fairer, because each voter has a vote. But that presumes people able to vote have the vote. (Do women have the vote? poor people? atheists? ) There is an important underlying assumption that voters are not solely driven by the near term self interest because otherwise, the voters could vote themselves large entitlement benefits and ruin the currency.

If you lived in a communist government you are told where to live, what to do, and you have no rights. Do something wrong and you are sent to a work farm, prison, or killed. I like the idea of living where I want and having civil rights in a democracy. In the darkest days on the Soviet state typewriters had to be registered and people stood in line to get a pair of shoes. They took the shoes they were given and then traded with others to get ones to fit.

Why is your democratic government better than dictatorial government?

Democratic government is better than dictatorial government because in a democratic society every citizen has a say and a vote to elect their representatives in government, there is freedom of association and expression. People can force government officials to step down if they think that they are not doing a bad job and citizens can ask their representatives to make changes in laws. A Democratic government is not necessarily better than a dictatorial, a dictatorial government is better than a democratic one in times of war, danger or economic depression because it takes faster and more effective actions, but dictatorial government are only good in short terms.
