    Democracy, capitalism, communism.

    It doesn’t matter how you change the rules of the game, the psychopathic mass murderers always adjust and find the way to the top.

      Oh, but it does.

      If the population is kept uneducated, poor, and fearful they don’t have the energy, understanding, or organization to keep the assholes in check. It’s way easier turn a country to dictatorship and/or fascism when everyone is stressed and struggling.

      There is no perfect system, but they are systems that can build a population that is at least asshole resistant.

      Ideology and education does help though. We need a system with antibodies against self serving sociopaths rising to power.
