I prefer a communist state because I can't trust other people making descisions, so I would make sure people are equal through my complete control of it.

Just bringing this back to the top.
I like a democracy, when people are smart. (Not a democratic republic) Unfortunaltly, several people are dumb. I have yet to find a soulution for that. I don't think it is Democratic rebublican, but it could be a theocracy.

Democracy is better, i think. People have more say in things.

That is if they are smart. If people are dumb, they will make the wrong decisions. Btw, America is not a democracy. It is a democratic republic.
Democracy is better with a smart crowd.

Here is some Hobbes to mull over, dealing with Psychological Egoism.

1) It is human nature to be selfish
2) If it is human nature to be selfish, then you cannot successfully fight your selfishness.
3) If you cannot successfully fight your selfishness, then you should harness selfishness.
4) You cannot successfully fight selfishness (MP 1,2)
5) You should harness your selfishness (MP 3,4)
6) There is either Democracy of Absolute Rule
7)If there is democracy, then there is anarchy.
8) You don't want anarchy
9) You don't want Democracy (MT 7,8)
10) There should be Monarchy (DS 6,9)

Anarchy is the state of nature - which is selfishness.

Couldn't anarchy promote selfishness?

If only the days of true democracy could comeback...I do not think there is a current government that is truly a democratic one anymore. The Greeks had it right. They more or less made democracy, along with many other ideas we use. Yet democracy was been perverted. Sad, really.

I wish I could remember what Aristotle said about Democracy.

"Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal."
OR
"Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers."

Aristotle hated Democracy, as did many thinkers back then. It is the rule of the mob and is the worst form of government there is.
