totalitarianism can be the most effective political system with an efficient, honest and dedicated leader
history has painted it in poor light.. the one's commandeering their society were just ineffective
then again.. its the most tumultuous political system
it can either be extremely good one year.. or the complete opposite the next
no room for screwing up and u would need a well-intentioned human being (very difficult to find)
have to understand that intentions don't even matter, what people need to understand is to judge government policy on its outcomes and not its intentions.
Intentions are useless when society is being repressed because their beliefs don't adhere to state policy and everybody is in poverty because there is no price system to allocate resources effectively
"So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people, that can hold a candle to the productive activities unleashed via the free enterprise system" - Milton Friedman
