"yes sir, but still need those dummies as slaves to produce the goods."

We need some, but how many? And work expands to fill available resources, so having too many means we get make-work McJobs like we have now.
Exactly. The King should be whoever has the might to dominate. Representative government is feminine and gay.

'i wish everyone thought "nation + excellence" but this is not the case.'

So you know what I'm going to say here...

IT'S A BELL CURVE!

The right side gets this, at least the fringe.

Everyone else is muddling through and needs that right fringe to take care of them.

Agreed, which is why I am (a) a eugenicist and (b) see the goals of any system of law enforcement solely as removing threats to normal people.

There's also another form of complacency, which is that the more you succeed, the more everyone goes to sleep, so we need to breed wolves and bears to pick off the unwary.
@greyknight @freepatriot

When self-interest coincides with the success of the nation, it is benevolent in aims even if not always in methods.

However, "we had to destroy the village to save it" did not sell well with the aristocrats.

They just kept on doing good things, and their descendants do them today.

There is no perfect system. There is no perfection. Only turning up the volume on what is good and decreasing the volume on what is bad.
@greyknight @freepatriot

It's an interesting point. The kings chose to step aside instead of producing mass bloodshed.
@greyknight @freepatriot

Lesser aristocrats have titles to land and rule local areas, so they have status just not Big Dog status.

"the self interest must be something that puts ALL on the same level."

Why?

"goal congruency."

The nation + excellence. It is all we need.

"comfort and complacency breeds the incompetent and makes the corruption more possible"

This is why you sequester wealth.
@yukiame @greyknight @freepatriot

It's a cause-effect relationship.

Drinking beer does not make great warriors (B->A) but great warriors drink beer (A->B).
@Escoffier @h4890 @freepatriot @Wtdrisco In a way I fall into that category. I welcome total annihilation from God, Nuclear weapons, Aliens, or Volcanic Eruption. It doesn't make a difference just so long as my ideological enemies suffer more than me

Fascism in a way is all about vengeance (justified, sanitized revenge) and thats what I'm certainly here for, regardless of the form that vengeance takes.
@greyknight @freepatriot

the ruler is self-interested, but his self-interest coincides with that of the nation

you have lesser aristocrats to ensure succession
