Yeah, thats were the issue lies sadly.
Ive broken my head about it sometimes and came up with some weird halfbaked solutions, but I forgot half of them and would need some time to recollect them.
(Theyre probably too utopian to work anyway)
Although you have to admit that there are plenty of people/governments who got shit done in some way or another through drastic measures.
China is a totalitarian hellhole, but the one child policy, while not aimed at ethnic minorities in order ot prevent genocide, surely solved overpopulation to some extend along other things the privates would have never agreed on.
Bismark wasnt really in favour of individual freedom and started some wars, but germany ended up with a unified population(a wish that was long since held by the public-see 1848 ) with equal access to education and basic healthcare.
Something neither the proto-industrialised kingdoms nor the rich private factory owners adressed before to such an extend.
So you either have a strong gubmint that at its best holds most of its promises and enforces solutions to urgent issues while inevitably buttraping you in some other way with the aqquiered might (and degenerates further over time), or you screw the centralised power and end up with detrimental foreign cultural and economic subversion by those who didnt chose your ways (An example might be the saudi theocrazy funding aligned muzzis in europe) and a bunch of powerful oligarchs that wont really solve urgent issues either because they work independent from each other with their own profit in mind and will therefore only act if the situation gets unbearable/unprofitable for them too.
Looking at the latter option, I prefer some fair share of abuse in an ordered manner then abuse by absolutely foreign interests or disorganized native powerholders who are just as bad or worse.
At least I can relate to the boot on my face then and know whom to blame my shortcomings on wile im busy groveling…
I wonder if theres a golden middle though.
( If the "pendulum swings back!" sayers are rigth, it seems impossible to reach though.)
