Choosing Between Two Extremes

MY TWO FAVORITE forms of government are: secular democracy, and benevolent dictatorship. None of this "representative democracy", aka "republican" either. Straight up, direct democracy, with freedom from and of religion, aka mob rule. Bring it. Chaos, yes, but at least better than having a few billionaires control everything in the United States, and calling it "freedom". We, the mob, could vote for EVERYTHING instead of farming it all out to politicians and their corporate owners and masters. Gay marriage? A national online referendum! Legalized pot? Vote across America, on laptops, desk tops, and cell phones! Power to the people! Every single vote that comes before Congress, instead of being voted on in Congress, could be decided by a vigilant and pro active electorate. The electronic revolution has give enormous potential power to the unwashed masses, if only they realize it, and actualize it, which seems very unlikely at this point. We spend too much of our time posting on Facebook about our flower garden and our significant others to allow for sustained involvement with the affairs of the nation. With regard to the benevolent dictatorship concept, who among us would not want Jesus Christ to return to Earth now, and establish his complete rule? Oh, maybe a few anarchist holdouts, but, other than that, you gotta believe most of us would welcome a dictatorship of the savior, eh? What sort of dictatorship would Jesus institute? One where there is a rigid social and financial pecking order, or one in which everyone is equal, socially, economically? The communist dictatorship of Jesus Christ, perhaps? If one really thinks about it, one soon realizes that a completely enlightened and benevolent dictatorship, such as the type we would doubtless receive from Jesus, is the most desirable for of government. But we humans are an adventuresome lot of wee beasties, and we would probably wish to govern ourselves. But when do we propose to start, if ever, and how?
