    The only reason it leads to/encourages corruption, very simply is when the Individual confuses his self-interests(as "der fuhrer") for the State's interest. In this sense, it's actually no different from any governing system.

    (Indeed, even in the most robust of democracies and Republics, corruption still stings.). The only truly perfect "system" in that regard, would be a system in which Law remained supreme, and could act without human interactions. Ironically, in America there is such a remote third party with that viewpoint. But I find that I disagree with that vision.

    Why? Because time's immemorial. Laws are set in stone, and never change. Even if the philosophy that made the laws are sound(see: Our founding documents), sometimes the times require that we make those changes. Simply put, I'm more than willing to accept corruption if that means human hands can turn the wheel of time. If a centralized technocracy can organize the movement of its citizens to its maximum production, I'm more than willing to accept that it's strong handed.

    All we care about, in the end: Is if society moves. Who cares if its corrupt? If you have peace, if you have people making money, if you have low crime rates. Who cares if an apple drops? The tree's healthy.

    And I find the tree is healthier with a lot fewer players(Centralized power) than a lot of players(decentralized authority).

    You are not annoying me a bit, I just wonder what goes on in the head of a Swede that propels him to spend so much energy on American politics, because we certainly don't care one bit about yours. And if you are going to poison the board with Nazi and Fascists regalia and video, your opinion's carry no weight whatsoever. America was responsible for saving the world from both while Sweden was a staunch ally of Nazi Germany, providing them with the iron ore to keep their steel mills operating. That was over 70-years ago - it has no bearing on an American political election in 2016, unless the Russians start casting favorable eyes on Sweden - than you will be screaming for us (possibly in the presence of a President Trump), to save your butt..........

    Didnt they lead the massive NATO force on a wild goose chace for a russian sub that turned out to be a working aboat? Whats even funnier is that they still requested more militairy spending to counter this russian submarine threat...that happened to be a working boat.

    The only great thing that Trump has done is give lefties and righties some common ground to unite upon, namely their dislike of the boobery of Donald Trump.

    The read the fine line and buyer beware warnings.
    It is a good thing there are anti fraud anti con laws businesses like Trump University are supposed to reveal everything to prospective clients. Trump is being very very disingenuous and the public are starting to see the real Trump.
