singapore = democracy or communism?
-
just like to point out something. singapore do not practise democracy, instead she practise communism. the first thing that comes to our minds when given the word 'democracy' is voting. however, in singapore, we vote only during upgrading, elections and selecting president or when in companies or schools. other than that, when the gov implement any policies, they will go ahead without our approval. we can only make noise then, not being involved in these policies. take the example of building a casino. the gov is still considering whether to build or not. why can't it just list out the pros and cons and then tell us to vote. that is then democracy. we will always know the things the gov wanted to do when it is already in place. it is not diff from communism. we cant decide things on our own, which can be compared to the past of USSR. so shld singapore be called a communist country?

Singapore's system is based on Meritocracy deluded by Bureaucracy containing Hypocrisy and blinded by a dead Legacy.

Communism = One Pie, all mouths, Government distribute.
Capitalism = One Pie, one mouth, Government tax.
Democracy = One Pie, one mouth, Government tax, many complains.
Meritocracy = One Pie, Big Mouth gets it, Government tax, other mouth red eyes.

s'pore is maybe capitalistic communism??Originally posted by Otingocni:Singapore's system is based on Meritocracy deluded by Bureaucracy containing Hypocrisy and blinded by a dead Legacy. maybe a monarchy?
maybe a regime? -
That's where you are wrong. Communism does not include the strong iron-fist method seen behind Stalin, China and LKY. Communism is based on marxism. Marxism is a belief that one day all system of Government will be overthrown to form a system where the wealth and food is shared equally. Strict communism basically meant the Government will be in charge of all food and wealth distribution. The China communism, LKY's method and Stalin's method are simply different from the Karl Marx's beliefs.Originally posted by mayham321:s'pore is maybe capitalistic communism?? maybe a monarchy?

Meritocracy is a system LKY based his beliefs upon and in fact, he is a reflection of his own system. His merits squashed all possible opposition, advancing him to a role of a father, the lordship, and gives him invulnerability.
What are the pros and cons of meritocracy then?
Pros
- Advancement to the next level of benefits is by merits not by birth, wealth or class. Therefore, anyone who proves his abilities will advance to the next level. Given more educational benefits etc, more important roles to perform etc.
- This system will force all to be regimental, confined to strong sense of competition for places, to fight for limited space and thus, improve general awareness for improvements. In turn, this will actually award important roles to capable people, avoiding the possibilities of having slackers at the top.
Cons
- Slow developers and those failing to deliver will be contained in a constant ratrace, living only on moderate conditions. -
