The 21st century has given rise to the whole galaxy of dictators in economically and politically developed
countries, therefore, the situation in the world is gradually becoming a mirror image of the 20th century’s
corresponding period.
Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Salazar, the emperor of Japan -- all the dictators of the last century can
be embodied by their successors in today's world who are their copies with one or another reservation.
If we analyze the current situation and the further development of events, we come to an understanding
where the presence of a few powerful people, the “smartest, brightest, and wisest” fathers of nations, will
go in the future.
There are at least a few historical patterns:
- a few dictators did not spell rivers of blood within the country;
- almost all the dictators waged wars, and the more powerful the dictator’s country is, the greater is the
number of war-related victims;
- a dictator received a real gain by satisfying his ambitions, obviously, if he remained alive, a handful of
his manipulators won under either outcome.
The result of comparing the development of societies head by a dictator and without him is clearly not in
favor of the first option.
The reasons for dictators’ coming to power and their consolidation aren’t studied systematically,
however, the certain Nobel laureates addressed to some points in their researches.
The most famous research works, concerning this topic directly, are the works of Kenneth Joseph Arrow
on the “inevitability of dictator” and George Akerlof on the adverse selection. Precise enough for the
simple situations stimulation, including public choice as well, the theorem of John Forbes Nash on the
equilibria in non-cooperative games and the prisoners dilemma formulated by Merrill Flood and Melvin
Dresher, clearly indicate the ways to achieve the Pareto optimality states.
It wouldn’t be hard for a person with basic knowledge of mathematics to justify the configuration of the
social structure, the basic rules of a public choice and its periodicity, excluding the coming to power of
the dictator based on the above-mentioned works:
Conclusion:
The election of the administrative state structures representatives will inevitably lead to the election of the
dictator of the function of public welfare. You will elect the dictator anyway whether it is an individual or
a party with a leader, and nobody can argue with that (if only someone can refute the Kenneth Joseph
Arrow’s Nobel work). The fragmentation of the state’s governing functions will lead to the emergence of
numerous local dictators, where no one could become a leader due to the practical impossibility of the
opportunistic agreements under the conditions:
With the above changes, it would make little sense for the oligarchs, parties, or financial groups to bribe
directly elected “local dictators” of the social welfare functions. Not only the costliness but also the
divergence of interests, non-reelection, lack of time for collusion and possible cover-ups (the most
common phenomenon of modern state-level systems) will be crucial for the elimination of political and
economic corruption in many countries.
The most important factor is the very definition of the basic public administration functions owing to the
historical traditions of different countries.
The configuration of the state, excluding the dictator, may look as follows:
Direct elections of the central government:
Direct elections of the local government:
The proposed configuration of the social structure, basic rules of a public choice and its frequency do not
contradict the basic Constitutions of the democratic countries, the ONU and EU Charters on Human
Rights.
In economically developed countries, parts of the above-mentioned configuration were implemented
historically and intuitively, and its further introduction (or, taking into account the historical features, its
semantic modification) would exclude the appearance of global dictators.
P.S. Why to choose is forced on you if you like apples?
In this context, it is important to get the complete list, without limiting the options.
Politicians claim that you have elected prosecutors, judges, central civil servants via intermediaries
(deputies, president, coalition). The elected ones do not owe to you, therefore, they work only for those
who really elected them.
