We are experiencing the return of monarchies with another aspect in Russia, where Putin has restored the power of the Orthodox Church, which is now part of the government as in the time of the Tsars, and Moscow is among the cities with the most multi-billionaires, his party It has practically no opposition in 20 years and thanks to a popular consultation, it intends to extend for another 15 years. Lukashenko in Belarus has a similar libretto, but with more Stalinist features.From my experience and life in Russia for 5 years, I can point out that this form of government with a tsar or with a secretary general who was a disguised tsar, and those of the bureau of the Communist Party as its court of honor, it is the only way to govern that enormous territory, when they tried another system, their power was disarmed, the USSR disappearing, which seemed impossible.
In China there is also another form of monarchy for 5000 years, but here the delegates of the Communist Party, which is the only one in the country, are the court of Emperor XI-PING,
In England the queen who governs through a prime minister chosen between Labor and Conservatives, is also the high priest of the Anglican Religion, so England is a parliamentary monarchy and a tolerant theocracy of other religions, something very confusing.
In America, as in France, there is a republican system where power is in the winner of periodic elections, which in the United States is a dispute between two parties, the Democrats and the Conservatives and they have a strange system, where the one who does not win. It has the most votes in the elections, but the one with the most representatives in Congress, for which it is a parliamentary presidency, as in Lebanon, Germany and other countries. These representatives at the time of being elected can win for a party and when they elect a president, they can change to the opposite party, which is the way George Bush Jr. and Donald Trump won the elections without having the largest number of voters.
In Latin America, the republics have the election system in which the parties are formed before an election and some persist for some elections, the rest frequently disappear or reappear under another name, generally the parties are owned by someone, or are formed almost spontaneously to support people or ideas and can disappear after a bad government, as is the case of what was the largest party in Ecuador, Alianza País, which can disappear after the next elections, along with the government of Lenín Moreno.
After the Second World War, in the countries that lived through that conflict and their allies and even in the colonies, which were liberated through wars of liberation, such as in Africa, Arab countries, Asian countries, the military was government.
In the United States, presidents from Eisenhower to Bill Clinton were servicemen who participated in the World War. In Latin America, as in most countries that have elections by direct and secret vote, lawyers have been the largest number of presidents, when they have not been military or guerrilla, and this is because they study the laws and the traps that can be made to the laws, because in the system of government of political parties, advertising, marketing are fundamental and this is to build unreal images and situations, starting from over-dimensioning problems or qualities of the candidates, Thus, while in monarchies vanity has been the engine, in theocracies fear and fanaticism, in politics, the engine is lies, deception and the obsession to win.
Building candidates, government plans, and governments where lies, and where the distribution of power or electoral spoils does not exist, has until now been a utopia pursued by socialism of the 20th century, and largely achieved by Scandinavian socialism. .
After this pandemic the world and changing, it is possible that knowledge and technology will give way to great changes, including the possibility that scientists, doctors, artists are rulers, in a world where scientists, doctors and artists have been to carry out orders, create, even weapons, or delight.
