I would like to hear which country you are from to have these views.

But suffice it to say that power corrupts. The people need to keep A VERY STRONG GRIP on their officials or else, totalitarianism ensues. Look at Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, France, and soon EVERYWHERE... Tyranny.

Russia. It is a pretty common world view here. It seems to be almost absent in the West from what I have gathered.

In my view, you can only allow a central government to be strong if the nation has a strong, nationalist leader. In most of the world, there are no leaders at all, so there can't be a strong central government because in such a case, it quickly becomes the representative of the rich and already powerful, and tyranny ensues. This is what is happening in most of the world right now.

As such, the only solution for most nations is direct democracy such as there was in Lybia before it got "liberated" by evil. In Russia you are lucky to have such a leader at this crucial moment in your national history. Hopefully he is a true nationalist and not a sellout to the subhuman parasites that ruin everything.

"you can only allow a central government to be strong if the nation has a strong, nationalist leader." True. The system should promote strong nationalist leaders.

The only system that did was that of the NSDAP in the first half of the XXth century Germany.

Time to try again. This time, lets keep it civil.
