Tie Guy Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 The US isn't a true democracy, they are more of a republic, where the people elect otehrs to make decisions. In a true democracy the people vote on everything. Cuba is an absolute dictatorship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idiot00001 Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Aren't Iran and Pakistan monarchies. Oh, and China and Cuba are in theory cummunist countries, but in true communism there isn't a government at all. So they are more of a dictatorship than communist country.

Clefo Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 I'm not too sure on Iran but I'm 95% sure Pakistan is.. Its ruled by a Military General which equals dictatorship..

NewtypeJedi Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 USA: Constitutional Federalist Republic :) France: Constitutional Republic Britain: Constitutional Monarchy * Saudi Arabia: Absoulte Monarchy * * Pakistan: Military Dictatorship * China: Communist Oligarchy * Cuba: Communist Dictatorship * Iran: Theocracy (Rule by Religious Authority) - I'm a Political Science Major, so these are accurate.

Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Just to add one: Norway is a Monarchy*. *Same as the UK: The monarchs have no real power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Aren't Iran and Pakistan monarchies. Oh, and China and Cuba are in theory cummunist countries, but in true communism there isn't a government at all. So they are more of a dictatorship than communist country. What happened with the communism was that the idea of "you get the same amount of money even if you don't work as hard" failed because the people were lazy humans. "Oh, if it is the same how much we work, then why work that much at all?". Thus, Stalin was forced to recruit an MP army to keep the workers busy, and well.... However, I have this theory that if only a country is communism for long enough, people will start realising that they need to work harder and it will stabilize (US democrats: don't flame me for this). In Norway, we don't have grades in elementary school (as everyone at the same age are supposed to b in the same grade level), but the elementary school kids still do all of their work. All we get back from doing well is knowing we answered everything correctly on that quiz last week, or that the teacher puts a nice little sticker in our books. Kind of similar to communism that way, but again, don't flame me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
