Editing Servatianism (section)

==== Democracy ====
[[Servant Mapper|Servant]] supports a democratic government based in Christian principels as he sees democracy as the least bad out of the options. Given that power corrupts, corrupt leaders will need replacing. The best person to choose the next leader is God, rendering theocracy superior in theory, but in practice we can't have a theocracy until the second comming, so thus the people will choose who comes to power in the meantime. The people becase:

1. They are many and they aren't very powerful, thus they will be less corrupt.

2. They tend to be at least a little bit more in touch with reality than the elite.

3. They know what they themselves need at least more so than the leader.

Democracy however does still have a lot of flaws:

1. It doesn't stop the corrupt bueracracy from accumilating power.

2. It's often more focused on public appeal and propaganda rather than actually doing anything useful.

3. It's slow and encourages short sided decisions.

Additionally, the government should be powerfull enough to prevent crime and degeneracy but weak enough to not become tyrannical. He thinks death penalty is wrong and also alcohol should be illegal.
